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.”

How do I get duckduckgo to block tracking attempts?
Okay I think I have it. I just installed the duckduckgo app and enabled the tracking protection in settings. And right now I am shocked. The amount of tracking attempts in the last 30 minutes has been mind boggling. 300 attempts and counting! Is this normal?
I enabled it just now and got a massive list from opening the memrise app. In total, 212 so far over 3 apps. I’ve been using ddg for ages, I never really gave a second thought to the optional features. Thanks to everyone who’s been posting screenshots of it!
Edit:
Droplets is literally a kid’s app.
Is this the ddg browser? Are you seeing what it blocks through the browser or does it somehow block on the phone outside the browser like firewalls?
