screenshot of Duckduckgo app tracking blocker that has blocked 107 tracking attempts over the last four days

Hi all, relative newcomer here.

I tend use Duckduckgo as my main browser (Firefox if there’s issues) as I do like the built in app tracker blocking (and the cookie management and email forwarding service!)

I was somewhat surprised just now to see that Connect (current Lemmy app) has been trying to allow tracking attempts by Google, Amazon and other such bellends.

Why is that? Surely we’re trying to leave all that shite behind?

Thanks!

      I just learned about dihydrogen monoxide and I’m NEVER drinking water again.

        You’ve drunk DHMO? I’m so sorry for you, you’re going to die

      You’ll see similar results on literally any link aggregator app. It’s not the app itself that’s tracking you…

      Just block the tracking and boom, problem solved.
