UBlock blocks ads from the websites you acess. The tracker thing stops your whole phone’s apps’ trackers.

Pihole or other network-based ad blockers might be able to do a lot of the same things. Or an ad-blocking DNS set in the phone’s settings. But I don’t know of anything else that has the same on-device VPN implementation as the DDG tool.
2nding RethinkDNS, since you can also use a Wireguard profile with it for system-wide VPN. Normal the app (and apps like it like TrackerControl) would replace a VPN because it runs a local VPN (using the android feature) to filter system traffic.

This is the answer, also shows you which trackers are getting blocked and allows you to individually unblock them in case you need it for an app to work.

Really surprised to see a game made by Cartoon Network themselves, who make games for KIDS, have trackers.
By the way, what does “digital printing” mean? They track my finger’s literal printing or…?

There’s all kinds of digital fringerprinting techiniques, its for identifying your device not your body lol
Things like screen size, settings that can be read by the app, even gyroscopic data can be used to uniquely identify your device

Maybe RethinkDNS

Or even DNSNet if good lists are added to it
