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 did you block all that? Can duckduckgo block apps from accessing that data? There’s no website version of threads yet right?

    Edit: nvm. Duckduckgo has an app tracking blocker built in these days. Coolcoolcool

      DuckDuckGo has a tracker blocker in their Android app that runs as a local vpn on your phone to filter tracking stuffs from other apps, mostly just acts like a firewall with their tracker list on it
