I didn't know that about Moto X4 only being USB 2.0 capable. That's useful info. Now I know not to bother with 3.0 adapters and the like.
As for my original question, I ran a search engine query and only came up with one person on a lenovo forum who tried and failed to use this product https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071HF3ZYQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Apparently most USB ethernet adapters require (compatibility with) a AX88772 chip set, which the Moto X4 doesn't have.
With a Linux phone, you're free to configure a firewall to limit whatever you like, incoming or outgoing. You can't really do that on an iPhone or an Android phone, so PinePhone/Librem 5/etc all give you something you didn't have before: control. It's up to you who you trust and how much of the control you decide to use.
> I want to be in complete control of my internet connection.
So, you want complete control, but you don't want to spend time to take that control? If you don't want to do it all yourself, you're going to need to trust somebody, for example blacklists/whitelists from uMatrix and whatnot.
If you only use a handful of services, then you can always block everything by default and only allow the handful of services that you choose.
> Sure, block Google and Facebook, but that site you're visiting is collecting your data and selling it to a databroker, who in turn sells it to Google and Facebook.
You get to choose who you trust. Don't click on links that you don't trust. Don't buy internet service from companies you don't trust. And so on.
How hard it is really depends on who you trust. For me, pi-hole + uBlock Origin + Tor occasionally is "secure enough", but maybe you're more paranoid than that and for you completely disabling wifi and going through a USB/Lightning adapter for your phone is more your speed (YouTube video, Lightning Ethernet adapter on Amazon, USB-C Ethernet adapter on Amazon; note, all of these will track you).
That being said, the root of the problem is that companies will find a way to make money, and tracking you is the way many companies go about it if you're not willing to pay for a service directly (and in some cases, even if you're willing to pay). I think we need to support companies that do value your privacy so they'll win against the companies that don't. Purism is more trustworthy than most other electronics companies, so I think they're worth some attention.
Trust companies that earn it, block those that don't. I used to unblock Reddit ads until the redesign came out, and now I don't trust them.
