Network Connections (Network Traffic)

Fair enough.

However, Obsidian is promoted as a “privacy focused” application. Therefore, as such, it would benefit from, and increase trust for users, by having these above points communicated more clearly after installing the application, upon first run.

Also, please allow us to see when these network requests occur, where exactly they are connecting to, and why. And please grant us the option of allowing or denying these specific network requests in the settings. Ask us, please, and be more transparent. That is being “privacy focused”. And allow us to permanently disable each request if the user so chooses.

By the way, I can’t recall if it has been done already or not, but Obsidian should most certainly disable Electron’s initial phone-home request to Google (redirector dot gvt1 dot com) upon first run after installation (check it with OpenSnitch).
