An aside about the mobile app:
Pros-
It integrates well with google things that Firefox seemingly doesn't, eg. Autofill of payment details, and still has some adblocking unlike chrome. The fire button.
Cons-
It has problems downloading most things, and the renderer blanks out when scrolling sometimes, and the the blocking isn't as comprehensive as ublock/privacy badger/decentraleyes.
Worth having as a second install I think
- yegg 5y agoAn update that fixed most download issues went out recently -- are you still seeing any issues there? On blocking, it is as comprehensive when it comes to trackers, if not more so -- see comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31002232 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31002232. However, from the post: "Our built-in tracker blocker isn’t a general “ad blocker”, but it does have the effect of blocking most creepy ads. Let me explain. Using our best-in-class tracker data set we block invasive trackers, which then typically blocks the invasive ads themselves. In other words, if you use an ad blocker to avoid creepy ads and tracking, you should like DuckDuckGo for Mac."
