Openwrt on my flint 2 With adgaurd/pihole I know its not technically an app, but lots of people forget there routers exist and are a very big security hole

You would not believe what my samsung tv pings

Tiktok (somehow came preinstalled)

Hulu(we dont have a hulu account)

Tubi(we dont use tubi)

Amazon(it seems to be for samsung tv plus)

I ended up blocking everything except amazon, samsung tv, and netflix on the dns level

Its also really good for stopping non power users (aka family member's) from getting malware/phished
