I'm wondering how many are trying this out and if someone with the right skills here (or elsewhere) actually tested it.

From a quick looks it does the job well. I wonder how it works exactly (has a list of known IP addresses and blocks traffic to those? Does it follow what information other apps are collecting, if so, probably means DDG collects it all? Etc)

I've been using it for several months and it works really well. Now I have it on all my devices.
