I don’t know if cookie promts are a thing outside EU but I always spend a few seconds refusing them. It’s like a distopian minigame every time I want to access a website because some are more tricky than others. But I am amazed at how many “legitimate interests” they can have

Some of them share data with over 3.000 other partners or ventors and I don’t even use shady sites! (new York Times had 3.170 vendors last time I checked)

Why is this posted in the Firefox community?

And is this the first time OP has heard about tracking?

The mind boggles.

Mull is a privacy focused Firefox fork for Android. I don’t think DivestOS has a presence here, though they do on Mastodon.

Due to DDG’s incorrect wording it is easy to see that someone might be confused and think Mull/Firefox was tracking them.

We all started somewhere, I think it is fine here.

Facebook, and other GAFAM tracking is insidious, many do not know this, or are just learning it.

Doesn’t boggle my mind to understand the rate of understanding such displayed attempt being conducted must be actively denied by the browser and their knowledge of how to protect themselves in the digital world.

Even I know better than trust firefox a hair let alone even customized to the bottom settings. Even on Librewolf you have to really back it up properly.

How are you at all surprised by these permissions? It’s the fucking Facebook app.

Also why is this posted on Firefox? It’s the duckduckgo app…

Come on people…

Edit: I didn’t know Mull was a Firefox fork. I apologize.

It is DDG reporting on Facebook trackers coming from Mull activity. Mull is a Firefox fork.

Yes, that would have blocked it. RethinkDNS would have blocked it earlier, then they could get rid of ddg
