Well crap I just got mine… Should have know that last sale was too good to be true.

Great article, interesting take. Feels wierd but am gasp optimistic now?!

Correct! I just updated title and added this info to the top of my post.

Nope I didn’t! But now I do. Thanks friend :)

Updated title and added an edit to the top to state what I think was the salient info discussed.

I agree if you like the app, support the dev by paying for it. Which after playing around with it more I belive I will be doing.

I do feel bad if DDG blocker is stopping his ads from reporting in, thus stopping his source of income. Definitely not my intention.

Fair enought and thanks for that info.

I was mostly posting to get community feedback and thoughts, so I shared what I came across. Figured people out there would know way more about this the I.

Good to know thank you. :)

To be fair I had just opened sync, played around with how it looked and scrolled a bit when I noticed this.

I don’t recall clicking many links, but I could have certainly. Who knows just by looking at thumbnails soemthing could have been passed through?

Cheers mate The track blocker says “attempts” pretty clearly I wasn’t trying to mislead

Says "36 tracking attempts blocked "… So perhaps poor wording on duckduckgos part?

Hello, yes duckduckgo has an app that turned on a blocker to try to strip and block tracking attempts. I keep it running and it seems to catch alot.

What raised my eyebrow was it started alerting on a lot of new tracking attempts for Sync. I mean alot of android apps do the same thing this isn’t just for Sync so it’s not doing anything unique there. It was also the laundry list of info points that seemed off.

Figured I would post and see if anyone else has seen the same.

I plan on buying the app, I assume those attempts will go away without the ads.

Hello! Promise no malice intended.

I was just playing around with the app and noticed duckduck go blocking a ton of new tracking attempts.

I can only go by what was stated in the app as “attempts” hence my post.

Someone who understand how duckduckgos tracking blocker work might know better however. Perhaps you are 100% right.
