DuckDuckGo browser’s privacy protection will also apply to Microsoft scripts now

Hi, I'm the the CEO & Founder of DuckDuckGo. I'm happy to answer questions about this, and here is my short post from today this article is based on, which I'd encourage reading since it is the primary source and the article doesn't cover everything in it: https://spreadprivacy.com/more-privacy-and-transparency/

In short though it explains we're expanding our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection to include blocking Microsoft trackers from loading, how this works with DuckDuckGo search ads, and also a new help page that covers details on all our web tracking protections across platforms: https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/privacy/we...

"One thing it won’t block by default after the changes roll out this week, is scripts for bat.bing.com that load directly after a user clicks on one of DDG’s search ads, which it says are used on advertisers’ sites to measure ad effectiveness."
