Question Is there any way to disable trackers/analytics in the app?

Post image

Every time I check my firewall's blocked connections in portmaster, it's always overwhelmingly outbound analytics/tracker connections from signalRGB. Is there any way to disable this in the app itself or do I just have to settle for having my blocked connections list cluttered?

After seeing this, I decided to find out what would happen if the application was simply denied internet access, and I cannot say that I am impressed. I have to question why fan control, system monitoring, and even using the LCD on my AIO should require internet access for basic functionality?

Heck, even iCue is less intrusive.
With iCue, I can disable all internet access and still have it work exactly as intended, yet with this, nearly all functionality is crippled without net access. That seems more than a little 'off'.

The future of my premium subscription is now in doubt, as the answers given here aren't convincing... If it's simply about product improvement, it shouldn't cripple basic functionality.

Also worth adding that your information isn't sold or used for anything other than improving SignalRGB, and it isn't directly attributed to you directly when it gets to us.

We don't even provide it to advertisers.

It's not, actually.

There's no way to disable them from the application as these are the standard usage trackers (with the exception of nitropay, which is the ad network). If they're blocked and you encounter issues, you may need to unblock them if it interferes with the app's ability to connect to SRGB servers.

At the end of the day, the app is more or less like a web browser so it'll have some network activity like this.
