I block 99% of all trackers and social media.

What do you use to block attempts?

[-] daslfc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Looks like the duckduck go app for android

[-] Lag@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Thank you. I knew they had a browser but I didn't know it could also block tracking from other apps. Definitely useful.

Why the fuck does BBC sounds have so much tracking???

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

Probably to collect all that it can to sell the data. Or they fucked up the feature and it triggers a connection attempt each second or sth.

I mean, even for your average commercial app, that's an absolutely insane rate. I'm betting it keeps retrying whenever it fails or something

[-] expr@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, honestly that almost looks like straight-up incompetence, like a ton of polling going on.

[-] Palerider@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I wondered that but I'm no tech expert.
