In the early days, ddg's browser used to block YouTube ads direct. But now it only blocks ads through the duckplayer.

An interesting thing about ddg is it does stop websites seeing how much battery you have. I don't know why this is useful, I just thought it was a fun fact.

    That's actually really cool, websites can deduce the model of your phone by how quickly or slowly it drains (of course not on it's own but it helps for fingerprinting)
