DuckDuckGo’s browser for iOS, Android, and macOS reportedly allows Microsoft trackers to operate despite claiming that it “automatically blocks hidden third-party trackers” for its users. This exception to DuckDuckGo’s tracker protections was revealed by security researcher Zach Edwards on May 23, BleepingComputer reports. Edwards tweeted evidence of DuckDuckGo’s browser allowing trackers used by LinkedIn and Bing to load on the website for Workplace. DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg said on May 23 that “our Microsoft search syndication agreement prevents us from doing more to Microsoft-owned properties” and that his company has “been continually pushing and expect to be doing more soon.”
