The Zuck suck is in full swing. (social.fossware.space)

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."

I didn't know DuckDuckGo had the app tracker feature. It was just a browser the last time I gave it a go. Thanks for the tip! I've been using NextDNS for my Private DNS on Android for awhile. I had to temporarily disable it for DuckDuckGo to identify the trackers. It looks like NextDNS was doing a good job blocking them.

It might be surprlus to your requirements then, I've seen in a few discussions on here there's lots of alternatives. Some apps it 'breaks' so I just disable it for that app. Nuts though the level of tracking that's going on in our pockets all day!
