Image sizes are OK 👍, would use pngs rather than gifs but not a blocker imo.

I really like this PR.
But before we merge this, what is the exact purpose of this section?
Is this section for any android application that improves the security and privacy of the user.
Or is it limited to applications that make the android system more secure and private.

Is this section for _any_ android application that improves the security and privacy of the _user_. Or is it limited to applications that make the _android system_ more secure and private.

I thought the same, but the imgs used on the Firefox Add-ons (where I based the category) were all gifs, so it was just to keep the flow.

I'm more inclined to do the 2nd. If we include the 1st, we'd move into Android Apps, and that's a whole other world that would easily fill the page, and that's not the purpose imo, it's to provide people with basic/ground level tools. Let's not forget, after all, that most of the alternatives we give on other sections have a mobile variant, so we'd need to repeat ourselves.

This PR is good to merge for me.
Will leave it unmerged for a week, to allow everyone a chance of defining what this section should be about.

@hugoncosta may you add AFWall+ (firewall) and Adaway (for hosts files) to the root section? If you are rooted they're better than Netguard because you can keep using a vpn (Netguard used a local vpn to block unwanted traffic, and Android only supports one vpn service, AFWall+ uses iptables instead)

Note: For anyone reading only this PR, please also do consider to read the discussion in issue #399. Although some of CHEF_KOCHs points are true, a few of them are based on misguided assumptions that have been discussed before.

I don't have enough time to read the discussion over there at the moment, but even if you're absolutely wrong @CHEF-KOCH, not recommending tools like this even if they're good isn't as bad as recommending shitty software. Can you create a revert PR? GitHub is unable to do it automatically.
