Go with what makes you happy or what you are comfortable with Dimi 
Personally, for me, LittleSnitch is a necessity and the only problem I have with it is… I want it everywhere! On my smart TV, on my phone, on my console, everywhere! 
Perhaps a better LittleSnitch would be a SnitchRouter - i.e a hardware based system which all of your traffic is routed through and you control connections at that level. Pretty sure that could be very popular - router tech is very stagnated imo.
Taking in consideration the recent brew incident, privacy and security when it comes to macs is laughable, even volatile distributions such as ubuntu have better security measures when it comes to these kind of attacks.
At the same time, I don’t think it caught a lot of attention, as using external devices on phones was never that popular, but on ios you cannot connect “unauthorized” USB devices, there is a list of authorized devices being managed by apple, most likely because they are afraid of security issues when it comes to their half-baked drivers.
You can do a lot of what that does with some routers (I have an Asus which does similar) but blocking IPs/hostnames/ads is one thing, having LittleSnitch-like controls would be sweet imo …and is becoming more and more of a necessity as confidence in OS vendors is diminishing.
What incident was that Dan?
I think this is the one, the classical phishing site: Homebrew macOS Users Targeted With Information Stealer Malware - SecurityWeek
Nonetheless, running curl | sudo exec (and similar commands) is a idiotic practice that needs to die out, hence why this vector of attack is so simple.
I fully agree. As mentioned, I’ll go all the way fully paranoid when I get on Linux. They have enough software that does finer tuning of what program can do what.
How is Google allowing advertisers to pose as other companies Homebrew’s fault? 
Good luck Dimi! I am not brave enough to switch to Linux, at least not right now (I hope Apple pulls their socks up).
It’s crazy that it’s not on by default tbh.
Your post inspired me to start a dedicated thread on the topic @sevenseacat: How do you secure your dev machine/environment
I forgot to mention, for those considering it LittleSnitch Mini is free:
The network monitoring functionality, including the real-time connection list, traffic diagrams and the animated map view can be used for free!
The full feature set, including connection blocking, extended traffic history time ranges, advanced display and filtering options and more is available as an in-app purchase.
