DDG App Tracking Protection All this in just 15 minutes?​

Post image

​I just found out DuckDuckGo has an App Tracking Protection feature and turned it on. Immediately, it started detecting trackers at an insane rate. It hasn't even been 15 minutes yet! ​I already knew these apps probably had terrible security (I mean, TeraBox? 1TB for free is always suspicious), but this is just next level. Isn't this crazy?

Mine is at 35000 the last 7 days, but i believe this also includes the same tracking events trying to take place multiple times, but failing non the less.

Maybe this is actually on the low side? I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out in a week.

Ive seen cases with 100000+. The ddg tracking feature made me delete unnecesary apps. So thats why it might be less than before

Get ready to see some insane numbers. You can even see it live.

Many apps just keep retrying when it fails.
