    That’s not how it works. Apps cannot access the traffic of other apps, let alone decrypt it. There is no way DDG Browser does what you claim it does. They do not even claim that themselves.

    EDIT: Unless, of course, it works as a VPN, which apparently it does.

      It does in fact do what they claim it does, by functioning as a VPN.

      You should probably try the app first before talking out of your ass.

        Crazy that I’ve been downvoted for offering factual help, while the comment which is provably incorrect is up voted

        I did have the browser app a few months ago, but didn’t see any such functionality. Of course, by working as a VPN that works.

          It’s in the Settings, under “App Tracking Protection”.

          I don’t even use the browser part of the app.

        They’re making shit up. I can assure you that the DDG app does in fact block trackers in other apps, by functioning as a VPN. Give it a try, it really does work.
