I think I’ve used LittleSnitch since my first ever Mac - does anyone else with a Mac use it?
For those not aware of it, whenever an app tries to access the internet it asks you whether you’d like to grant it permission - which can be allow or deny, and either for forever, until quit, just once, or for a specified time.
Handy for all sorts of things, such the Google Chrome updater - which seems to ping for new versions every 5 seconds! You can just deny forever, then when you want to upgrade, simply delete the associated rule and it will ask you for permission next time it tries to connect to the internet.
I love it because I hate the idea of apps connecting to the internet without my knowledge!
