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.”

    You’d LOVE Sponsor Block then.

    It uses AI to cut out all sponsorships from within YouTube videos. Anything AI misses, the users can cut out.

    So no more Raid Shadow Legends or Nord VPN interruptions. Just pure entertainment!

      Is it AI based? I thought people add their own time segments with a label. I know I can turn the feature on to do that using Revanced.

        It’s AI based, but humans can put in the segments too.

          It’s not AI based whatsoever and is entirely crowdsourced by users creating the segments. Not sure where you got the idea AI has any part in it other than a purely blind assumption that you’re now spreading as fact.

            Hey, let’s not dismiss this technique out of hand. Sometimes, it helps people get elected President!

      squints …that sounds annoying. I honestly don’t mind sponsors. It’s a simple way for content creators to make money. I just ignore or skip.

        You literally don’t notice it. That’s the point.

        It’s like it cuts it out using a scalpel

        You get weeks of your life back from one add-on.
