Duckduckgo Android app's App Tracker Protection is blocking the Coso app. Not sure why; it doesn't list it is blocked. But it doesn't work. I reported it to them.
#fyi @th3j35t3r
@rpardee I think so, in settings. Once enabled it can be disabled for any application, and if that happens, it'll ask if it's being disabled because it caused problems. In my experience they fix the problem pretty quickly. It will also list the trackers per each app, which is good info. https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/p-app-tracking-protection/what-is-app-tracking-protection/
@b4cks4w Good show--thanks!
@rpardee Oh, and I've been using the ddg browser for a while now and didn't notice this problem. Think a recent update must have introduced a problem.
I don't have that issue. Maybe it's on your end?
@ExecutiveFunction404 @th3j35t3r always possible! It does strike me odd that DDG doesn't list any tracking attempts by coso, but the app is blank unless I toggle the ATP off for it.
Doesn't strike me as odd at all. J isn't shy about the app not stealing your personal info. Use it as a best case scenario & realize how much the others do track & swipe, for no reason except to make more money off your provided info.
I'm not sure why the app is blank. Is everything updated to the newest version & is this the first time it's happened?
@ExecutiveFunction404 @th3j35t3r Right - not surprised coso app isn't tracking - surprised ddg doesn't list a reason for interfering with it. Everything stays updated, yep and yes, 1st time I've seen the problem.
I hope it gets figured out! But in the meantime, you should feel comfortable knowing it's really not needed. Don't have to block trackers if there are no trackers to block 🥳😂
@ExecutiveFunction404 @th3j35t3r Totally, that's my thought. I just disabled it for Coso, let ddg know and thought I'd alert J in case the other 3 ddg users run into it 😂
@b4cks4w FWIW, I've not run into this so far. Is ATP something you have to enable in DDG?
