How did the Welsh shepherd find his sheep in the long grass? Very satisfying.

Know why Scots wear kilts? Because sheep can hear a zipper from a kilometer away.

I bought my yubikey at least 7-8 years ago and then stopped keeping up on comparisons. I honestly have no idea which is the best, because there are varying use cases and standards available. Yubikey works for my use case and threat model, but I have no idea what would be best for yours. I wish I could be more specific for you but also don’t want to give you misleading info.

Fair enough. I like the ease of simply touching it. It’s less of a frustration for when my wife wants to access my password manager

Same, plus a yubikey for 2FA

92% of people believe something if there is a statistic cited in it.

I dug into it, and it appears to be a DDG flavor of a DNS blocker (e.g., pihole, Technitium, etc.). It uses a blocklist to block specific tracking data sent from your phoneby comparing those URLs against the blocklist, then preventing the connection if it matches.

You can get the same effect, plus ad blocking, by changing your phone’s DNS to a public DNS like AdGuard, NextDNS, or something similar. You can use a VPN with the same capabilities, or if you want self hosted, run something like pihole or Technitium.

DDG’s service doesn’t seem to be bad, but it is limited in scope.

Disclaimer, I am an amateur in these matters not any kind of expert. I run my own instance of Technitium at home for network wide blocking, but that’s about it.
