So I received my invite to the DuckDuckGo beta for App Tracking Protection on Android devices. Have been using it for several days and now I'm just wondering: anyone know what is the difference between AdGuard's blocking vs DDG on Android?
I'm a paid subscriber to AdGuard and have been using it on all my devices for over a year. I'm satisfied with AdGuard, but I have to say I'm impressed with the free feature that DDG is now offering on Android. From a feature standpoint, since DDG doesn't explicitly say it blocks ads, I assume it is only offers app tracking protection as opposed to ad blocking. From a user interface standpoint, the difference is obvious: DDG shows you a nice summary of what tracking attempts it is blocking, however it reports very little in terms of details. Conversely, the AdGuard filtering log on Android reports a LOT of technical details (incomprehensible to most) and no summary level info. It would be nice if AdGuard offered a summary report.
