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.
EDIT: Unless, of course, it works as a VPN, which apparently it does.
-
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.
-
I did have the browser app a few months ago, but didn't see any such functionality. Of course, by working as a VPN that works.

figured as much
-
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.
-
well damn now i dont know who to believe <:p
-
If the app works as a VPN as well, then that works. I was not aware that the DDG browser does that.

There's also the PersonalDNSFilter which does the equivalent while being a tiny open-source app that serves only for that purpose and also somehow still not getting banned from the Google Play store or AdAway which also has this feature or TrackerControl or...

deadass? I just use adguard
-
I use both adguard and the DDG app. You should be using both too.
