The feature is somewhat similar to Apple's 'App Tracking Transparency,' but unlike the Apple feature, DuckDuckGo's system does not depend on the app developers' compliance with user choice. "It's a free feature in the DuckDuckGo Android app that helps block 3rd-party trackers in the apps on your phone (like Google snooping in your weather app) – meaning more comprehensive privacy and less creepy targeting," announced DuckDuckGo today.Ĭompared to the previous close beta version of the feature, the new version of App Tracking Protection lets Android users see exactly what trackers are blocked and what type of data they are targeting.
The 'App Tracking Protection' aims to increase privacy throughout the entire operating system by blocking third-party tracking scripts in other Android apps installed on the device. It includes numerous privacy features, including search term anonymity, hidden tracker blocking, email tracker protection, auto-HTTPS, and one-tap browsing history clearing. The DuckDuckGo for Android app is a privacy-focused web browser, search engine, and data protection utility, downloaded over 10 million times from Google Play.
DuckDuckGo for Android's 'App Tracking Protection' feature has reached open beta, allowing all Android users to block third-party trackers across all their installed apps.
