Android VS Player

The issue should be fixed in the very latest version available. If you can try updating to version 5.181.1 (available in the Play Store or directly from https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android/releases/tag/5.181.1), that should fix the issue.

DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser (version 5.174.0): Privacy, simplified

We fixed this issue a long time ago.

DuckDuckGo isn't sending your data anywhere, it's just acting as a filter between your apps and the internet. It's open source, so you can view the code to verify it yourself, and build it to run on your phone. And rest disturbed, if it was up to sketchy stuff, it would lose a lot of what it is staking its reputation on

Lots of things I like about the site. For one, I value that privacy has been highlighted.

They feature Firefox but it requires so much work to tweak. I feel this is a reflex recommendation though I do, very much, like that FF allows itself to be tweaked.

On the Desktop... I much prefer LibreWolf - which I didn't see listed. It is what Firefox should be.

On mobile, I prefer DuckDuckGo's Android browser. Firefox mobile comes bundled with 3 trackers! Why must you always shoot yourself in the foot, Mozilla? It's never ending.

DDG is not only open source (https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android) but it also does not have a single tracker. If that wasn't enough, it comes with a module called App Tracking Protection. It's brilliant. It blocks trackers from other apps. I cannot recommend this enough. The sheer amount of information collected from apps on your phone...

I have had apps at 30 attempts in the first few seconds and reach 1,000 tracking attempts within 1/2 an hour. Every single item - from contacts to specific location - is constantly being polled. Every app seems to be running spyware from various vendors - even my banking app.

Wall of text, time to stop. Nice site, love that it's not afraid to be technical.

DuckDuckGo is reputable and their browser is open source. They don't track and report the stuff they see, they just block it.

To be honest, I don't see any need for a DuckDuckGo browser. After their response to this issue, I personally wouldn't consider touching them. But even without that...why? Even without the horrendous privacy violation and the arrogant attempt to brush it away, is there anything DuckDuckGo's browser does that Firefox doesn't do better? I'm not aware of anything.

No, but you can try another player that might be better for you like https://github.com/moneytoo/Player

Not relevant to this thread , but I personally use 'just player' , no bullshit lightweight video player app, although it doesn't offer as much features as MX or VLC for that matter, but works for almost all videos and have never ran into any issue with it.

Also I might be wrong I don't know much about coding and stuff but if it's possible then this app could rely on JustPlayer as the video player in the app. This may reduce NOVA's developer workload for video player. This app could be an awesome media library with modern design.
