Just enabled DDG’s app track protection to test it out. Had Nekogram opened for a few mins, and Google already made 234 data collection attempts. I know the Big Guys are hungry for personal data, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

    Note that this is attempts: any app that fails to reach a target server might just keep trying repeatedly, even upon failure.

    If the app was something besides Google, I might even wager it would probably make fewer successful connections if it weren’t blocked to begin with.
