TrackerControl is a ripoff of NetGuard.

Does NetGuard show me the same information TrackerControl does and vice versa?

Not exactly. TC added the ability to block trackers. NG can easily do that by using a hosts file. I used to use the file by OSID but the Hagezi files https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#readme Are much better.
