Why is this posted in the Firefox community?

And is this the first time OP has heard about tracking?

The mind boggles.

Mull is a privacy focused Firefox fork for Android. I don't think DivestOS has a presence here, though they do on Mastodon.

Due to DDG's incorrect wording it is easy to see that someone might be confused and think Mull/Firefox was tracking them.

We all started somewhere, I think it is fine here.

Facebook, and other GAFAM tracking is insidious, many do not know this, or are just learning it.

Doesn't boggle my mind to understand the rate of understanding such displayed attempt being conducted must be actively denied by the browser and their knowledge of how to protect themselves in the digital world.

Even I know better than trust firefox a hair let alone even customized to the bottom settings. Even on Librewolf you have to really back it up properly.
