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."

You'd LOVE Sponsor Block then.

It uses AI to cut out all sponsorships from within YouTube videos. Anything AI misses, the users can cut out.

So no more Raid Shadow Legends or Nord VPN interruptions. Just pure entertainment!

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.
