8 attempts means you opened a single page then you went to see the report. DDG isn’t doing deep packet inspection and can’t distinguish which traffic is coming directly from the app logic and what is just the result of the user browsing a page. Also with “known to collect name, dob, city”, ddg has no idea of the content, it just blocked the encrypted request. It could have been an embedded Facebook post in a page you visited, or a tracking pixel, but it’s not Mull reporting to Facebook all that information
You’re surprised?
Why is this posted in the Firefox community?
And is this the first time OP has heard about tracking?
The mind boggles.
May I suggest ublock origin?
I do use it, that’s part of the reason I was shocked
How are you at all surprised by these permissions? It’s the fucking Facebook app.
Also why is this posted on Firefox? It’s the duckduckgo app…
Come on people…
Edit: I didn’t know Mull was a Firefox fork. I apologize.
It is DDG reporting on Facebook trackers coming from Mull activity. Mull is a Firefox fork.
I did not know that. Thank you for correcting me.
