Great app for our smartwatches, though of course you install it on a laptop.
I have used it to block apps i don’t want and especially replace them with google stuff, browser, contacts, calendar, etc.
It should also be good for disabling the ‘adups spyware’, though you will need to unblock when you want to check for firmware updates
