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.”

    Holy crap, TrackControl is really good and informative! Scary to see which companies try to gather your information! Thanks for this. I thought Blokada was the best. Going to try out URLCheck as well. Any other privacy apps for Android or even for Windows hit me up!

      Glad you’ve found them useful. Please spread the word so more people can benefit and the devs could hopefully get done donations :)

      Also, not sure if you know about newpipe sponsor block app for YouTube, revanced manager to patch apps like YouTube to block ads, sponsor block and all that. Also, search for xmanager that disables ads on Spotify. All legal stuff, btw.
