Thanks for the RethinkDNS referral, albeit a bit of a learning curve. I had been using DDG protection for a while (out of laziness), but started to wonder if it cut the mustard.

Does DDG provide protection system wide? If it's only the browser I believe Firefox with uBO or Cromite would be better?

[–] yamaonan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

DDG has app tracking protection, which runs whether the browser is open or not.
