DDG App Tracking Protection & Private DNS on Android
I've been using DDG ATP for quite a while on Android. I just started using Private DNS with NextDNS as the provider. I thought they would be complementary with ATP picking up some of what NextDNS misses. But when Private DNS is enabled I get zero blocks in ATP. Does that mean that ATP is redundant or am I missing something here?
Here's a list of all the packages I removed from my Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G (with ADB) without any apparent issues. Comments welcomed.
