The following message popped up when I went to Private Eye's website:-

"DuckDuckGo blocked this content to prevent Facebook from tracking you

I like DuckDuckGo!

yup. I always use a tracking blocker

That's good! I wonder where you get a tracking blocker - or is that something else to add to the list for my granddaughter when she next visits?

I use the Brave browser, that has inbuilt tracking blockers

If you use Google Chrome:

1) In the top right, click More (the three vertical dots), Settings
2) Search for "track" and then click Cookies and other site data
3) Enable Block third-party cookies
4) Enable Send a "Do Not Track" request

I think that DuckDuckGo did it for me.
I do have Adblock and Privacy Badger.
Have any AB techers got any negative feedback about DuckDuckGo?
Also, Firefox seems aimed at protecting punters like me.
