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."

How do I get duckduckgo to block tracking attempts?

[-] SoonaPaana@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Okay I think I have it. I just installed the duckduckgo app and enabled the tracking protection in settings. And right now I am shocked. The amount of tracking attempts in the last 30 minutes has been mind boggling. 300 attempts and counting! Is this normal?

Same. Then I looked for an alternative app that comes on on boot. Found one called Karma FW on fdroid
