There was a person in all these days that trough some shade on Boost for tracking, but they were referring to the free version, which makes the presence of ads and tracking very clear. In the post somebody recommended the app tracking protection that comes with DuckDuckGos Browser. I downloaded it and to my surprise have had a lot of tracking attempts blocked from Boost, despite me having the payed version.
I thought I’d ask about this here first, because there might be a reasonable explanation for this. From my understanding it was made clear previously, that the payed version of boost doesn’t tack data…?
If you share examples of the blocked tracking attempts we might be able to make sense of it. Without seeing it this just sounds like another unevidenced smear.
If I wanted to smear I wouldn’t have come here but posted it elsewhere, for example in the thread I brought up. How would I show such examples?
A screenshot of the app was what I meant. But after posting that I tried it out myself (see my other reply).
I was kinda disappointed DuckDuckGo didn’t give any meaningful insight. It looks like it’s basically just guessing what the trackers may be collecting based on domains connected to.
As mentioned in my other reply I’m certain the trackers recorded are actually from opening websites using the in-app browser, not from Boost itself.
So does it stop showing tracking when you sett your browser to external? Because it doesn’t for me.
Also, details are the same for me, just a general guess.
