Yay internet.
Edit: Oh wow! Did not expect so many responses. First let me say, thank you for taking the time to read and respond! To address the biggest response to use Firefox I actually have it on my phone it’s just remembering to break the habit. This was more to show what an average user who just uses what they’re used to experiences on mobile browsing.
What’s duckduckgo for in this combo? VPN? Search?
On android, to block trackers.
Like as a browser you mean? Then what’s Firefox for?
Sort of. From what I’ve heard DDG can set up a tracking blocker that will block tracking attempts across your entire phone, but I don’t know exactly how it works.
DDG has tracker protection that works like a VPN to protect your phone from trackers, it runs in the background no matter what app you are using.
Search engine.
Firefox instead of Chrome
DDG instead of Google / Yahoo / Bing
DDG has their own browser, which I think is a modified version of Firefox.
the DDG browser can setup a “fake vpn” tracking blocker for your entire phone. Last I checked certain apps were excluded by default as the tech is quite new and some apps don’t work right with it. It’ll then give you an overview of how many tracking attempts it blocks for each app.
