Blocking third-party trackers from a website is now common for many browsers, but there are still less reliable blockers for Android apps. But we all know that DuckDuckGo is already good on Apple devices.
After a long year of waiting, finally pulled this feature out of beta testing and made it available for android users as android users are facing more issues and scary targeting of multiple apps well known.
Also, this feature uses a ‘local VPN connection‘ which makes this blocking tracker possible, and also, it’s about not sending app-related data to DuckDuckGo itself or any other remote server.
You can download this app from PlayStore, and it also has other features, such as blocking hidden tracking, protecting email tracking, auto-HTTPS and clearing browsing history with one click.
