I was using Connect until I have found that there are trackers(via DuckDuckGo app) in it from Facebook. Trackers are common in apps, but if there are options available which give same experience without trackers, I will choose those options.
That’s untrue I installed Connect and used it for 5min. Stayed only in app and didn’t click on any third-party article link, here is the result:
47 trackers in 5 mins
Yeah all good I don’t want to suspect the dev either but since there are bunch of alternatives available, I’d opt for them than this one. I loved how Connect was the first one to try and implement the swipe between posts feature. Hope it keep doing well in the future.
Is there a possibility that DuckDuckGo got it wrong? Or is the Meta already trying to track users from threads which is present on fediverse? Latter seems unlikely but who knows.
I think it may be down to the UI, for example I preferred Relay for Reddit over the other offerings because the UI just felt more natural to me and that of course always going to be down to the individual user
On mobile, I tried FFox and Chrome… Worked like garbage. I switched to Connect and I am happy now.

I will install Connect again and see if it still gets detected on DuckDuckGo having hidden trackers.

What exactly is the problem with browser. Do people just have a high expectation of a platform, or am I just too used to the browser experience?
