Integrate DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar for mobile-specific tracker detection (#506) * Initial plan * Add DuckDuckGo tracker blocklist integration Co-authored-by: kasnder <5175206+kasnder@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix DuckDuckGo tracker loading to preserve Disconnect categories - Only overwrite if existing category is "Content" - Change default category from "Advertisement" to UNCATEGORISED - Check existing trackers before adding to avoid unwanted overwrites Co-authored-by: kasnder <5175206+kasnder@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: kasnder <5175206+kasnder@users.noreply.github.com>

Fix scrollbar offset on wide screens while preserving limited width design (#498) * Initial plan * Fix applications list scrollbar margin issue on wide screens Remove horizontal and vertical padding from root RelativeLayout in main.xml to prevent scrollbar from appearing away from screen edge and to eliminate unwanted left/right margins on wide screens (≥820dp). The RecyclerView now extends to screen edges while child UI elements retain their own padding. Co-authored-by: kasnder <5175206+kasnder@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix scrollbar position while maintaining limited width on large screens Add clipToPadding="false" to root RelativeLayout to allow scrollbar to be drawn at screen edge while content respects padding for limited width design on wide screens (≥820dp). This preserves the intended UX of centered content on large screens while fixing the scrollbar offset issue.
