Description

This way umbrel.com and github.io (Microsoft) know when and from which IP address I use my node. Why not bundle all the resources into one package and distribute it as a whole?

Research direction

Start by tracing the Umbrel App Store's requests to apps.umbrel.com and getumbrel.github.io for images, icons, and scripts. Determine which resources are fetched externally and whether they can be bundled; done would mean the issue's privacy concern is addressed by eliminating those requests or documenting a clear reason why they remain.
