I use jerboa, liftoff, and connect. Connect is the only one that has this kind of tracking going on.

    The latest update addresses this in Settings under Privacy Information. No trackers in Connect, those are the trackers on the websites you’re visiting when opening links via the app.

    Enable the option to open linkd in the external browser, these trackers are coming from the websites you visit.

    how does one get this app tracking protection?

    edit: I found out it’s available in the duckduckgo app for android

    Could that be counting links you’re visiting inside the app? That seems a lot for one small app, but less so for a handful of popular large websites.

      so then you realize the shit you visit from in-app webview does all the tracking

        You’re absolutely correct, but proprietary software has been overwhelmingly more malicious than most FOSS. Plus, you can determine that FOSS is malicious, where it can be difficult to do the same with proprietary software.

        Nobody turns FOSS into proprietary software with the goal of reducing the possibility of it being malicious. That just doesn’t make sense.
