Hi all, relative newcomer here.
I tend use Duckduckgo as my main browser (Firefox if there’s issues) as I do like the built in app tracker blocking (and the cookie management and email forwarding service!)
I was somewhat surprised just now to see that Connect (current Lemmy app) has been trying to allow tracking attempts by Google, Amazon and other such bellends.
Why is that? Surely we’re trying to leave all that shite behind?
Thanks!
I don’t know much about how any of this works, but my guess would be the embedded browser on Connect hasn’t been set up to block tracking? In which case you might try enabling the ‘open links in external browser’ option and see if you still get tracking attempts.
