In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like “headphone status” and “screen density.”

      Is it AI based? I thought people add their own time segments with a label. I know I can turn the feature on to do that using Revanced.

          It’s not AI based whatsoever and is entirely crowdsourced by users creating the segments. Not sure where you got the idea AI has any part in it other than a purely blind assumption that you’re now spreading as fact.

      squints …that sounds annoying. I honestly don’t mind sponsors. It’s a simple way for content creators to make money. I just ignore or skip.

        You literally don’t notice it. That’s the point.

        It’s like it cuts it out using a scalpel

        You get weeks of your life back from one add-on.
