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.”
This is why I use Privacy Badger
Not only does it show you what and where it blocks, but you can also whitelist blocking in case you play browser games.
You get a lot of information out of one addon.

How is this compared to Blokada?

Holy crap, TrackControl is really good and informative! Scary to see which companies try to gather your information! Thanks for this. I thought Blokada was the best. Going to try out URLCheck as well. Any other privacy apps for Android or even for Windows hit me up!

Nice addon, I’ve just installed it.
I’ve been using Chrome with Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin for eons, now. Listening to youtube playlists without getting interrupted by ads is a real treat…
You’d LOVE Sponsor Block then.
It uses AI to cut out all sponsorships from within YouTube videos. Anything AI misses, the users can cut out.
So no more Raid Shadow Legends or Nord VPN interruptions. Just pure entertainment!
Is it AI based? I thought people add their own time segments with a label. I know I can turn the feature on to do that using Revanced.

It’s AI based, but humans can put in the segments too.
It’s not AI based whatsoever and is entirely crowdsourced by users creating the segments. Not sure where you got the idea AI has any part in it other than a purely blind assumption that you’re now spreading as fact.

Hey, let’s not dismiss this technique out of hand. Sometimes, it helps people get elected President!
squints …that sounds annoying. I honestly don’t mind sponsors. It’s a simple way for content creators to make money. I just ignore or skip.
You literally don’t notice it. That’s the point.
It’s like it cuts it out using a scalpel
You get weeks of your life back from one add-on.
Yup, just checked Revanced and it’s showing 851 segments totaling 8hr 31 mins saved.
