Blocking Google's Background Tracking Servers Boosts Phone Battery Life
A recent experiment by an Android user revealed that blocking Google's background tracking servers on their home Wi-Fi network significantly improved their phone's battery life.
The user, who wished to remain anonymous, noticed that their phone was constantly draining its battery even when idle. After digging deeper, they discovered that the culprit behind this issue was Google's constant need to track them.
To resolve this problem, the user installed a private DNS service called NextDNS on their router. This allowed all devices connected to their network to block Google's tracking servers, resulting in improved battery life and reduced data consumption.
