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."

Ok.... Dumb question.... How do you have ddg blocking requests?

Seems like you have to download duckduckgo app to do that. Maybe you can do that outside the app too but I'm not going to bother checking that. Source: https://social.fossware.space/comment/371693

Ooooh, just the web page with ddg browser. I was thinking they had gotten app requests blocked and was being notified of them. I've had the ddg app for years 🤘
