So I got sick of how bad DDG browser is, so I finally switched back to FF and kept DDG just for app tracking blocking. I have uBO added and all set up. The pages are now beautiful. It’s like a whole new internet! However, when I click on links in apps, it doesn’t open directly in FF, some sort of Intermediary browser (run by FF) opens the page with a menu that has the option to “Open in Firefox”. FF is my default browser. Everything is set to not open links in-app. How can I make this stop and the links open directly in FF?

    Yeah DDG browser is horrible. Snakeoil, not actually fingerprint protecting too.

    Their App Tracking protection is too. If you want privacy

    • use a trackerblocking DNS server
    • set apps to “battery restricted”
    • isolate apps in the work profile using shelter
    • use GrapheneOS

    I dont know how that tracking protection is supppsed to work, but either DNS or some VPN, and both will be weak and unconfigurable.

    Their browser extension is snakeoil too. Use noscript and ublock origin.
