Same with macOS. Install LittleSnitch in strict mode, and you won't go 5s without a pop up blocking something. You can either trust all of the lists that are available to keep LS somewhat out of your way, or you can go full tilt and approve everything. Personally, I've never found that middle ground.

The middle ground is setting up your own rules once and then dealing with the popups occasionally.
