    The DDG app shows no 3rd party tracking attempts made by Firefox at all… So far…

      Yeah. People can avoid all this nonsense by installing one simple app… Duck duck go browser.

      You don’t have to use the browser. It just sits in the background quietly blocking tracking requests from other apps.

      It’s absolutely horrifying on first use to see how egregious tracking is.

        That’s not how it works. Apps cannot access the traffic of other apps, let alone decrypt it. There is no way DDG Browser does what you claim it does. They do not even claim that themselves.

          It does in fact do what they claim it does, by functioning as a VPN.

          You should probably try the app first before talking out of your ass.

            They’re making shit up. I can assure you that the DDG app does in fact block trackers in other apps, by functioning as a VPN. Give it a try, it really does work.
