> Also you'd be surprised at the number of software engineers that really don't care how many sentry logging calls their apps make. I completely agree with the sentiment, and I personally just disable the Warp application's internet access to address this, but it's worth recognizing that we're in the minority of people that care.

I'm in this boat. I never understood why I should care if some website interacts with google apis or logs everything I do and sells it to marketers so they can sell me ads. I'll block them anyway so it'll never make a difference to me one way or the other.

how do you block them in an app like warp ?

See my other comment for what I use, TripMode, but a DNS block on *.sentry.io would block the sentry calls. I tried setting a proxy to see Warp's other network activity but only the sentry.io calls actually respect the system-wide proxy settings. Pretty annoying, though it's probably not intentional. Just takes a little more work to inspect its traffic.

Other DNS lookups it triggers:

   api.segment.io                
   app.warp.dev                  
   identitytoolkit.googleapis.com
   o540343.ingest.sentry.io      
   securetoken.googleapis.com    
   storage.googleapis.com
