In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like “headphone status” and “screen density.”
Trackers, trackers and ol’ Zucc’s roboface galore.
Damn duckduckgo app protection is great! I’d never heard about it, installed and turned on now. Good call-out, thank you.
I encourage others to look this up too!
I got it running yesterday after seeing this thread. No noticeable difference to me, very noticeable difference to the online leech companies. I’m a happy camper
How does it work on mobile?
It’s working great. 36 hours in and more than 33,000 tracking attempts blocked. It’s mind boggling
And worst offenders are places I wouldn’t have expected, like the docusign app, and being scraped by companies I’ve never heard of like comScore and bugsnag
What I mean is do zi download an app or is it a browser I use.
Oh ya you download the browser app, then turn on app tracker blocking in settings. I couldn’t find it at first, but just googled it and the first answer worked. So all ya need is the duckduckgo app. At least, on Android
Thank you I will do that.
