I will install Connect again and see if it still gets detected on DuckDuckGo having hidden trackers.

Developer's comment on the matter

[–] sabaku_no_gaara@monyet.cc 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's untrue I installed Connect and used it for 5min. Stayed only in app and didn't click on any third-party article link, here is the result: 47 trackers in 5 mins

I mean read the Privacy Policy unless the dev is lying, which i doubt since he seems cool, there is nothing to worry about

[–] sabaku_no_gaara@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah all good I don't want to suspect the dev either but since there are bunch of alternatives available, I'd opt for them than this one. I loved how Connect was the first one to try and implement the swipe between posts feature. Hope it keep doing well in the future.
