## Description

**Tracker Protection** blocks known tracking domains across every app, browser, and email client on your device. Using encrypted DNS, it stops trackers before they can collect data, while helping prevent your ISP, carrier, or Wi-Fi network from seeing the sites and services you use.

The free plan includes always-on tracker blocking and encrypted DNS for every lookup. Premium adds an activity dashboard, per-vendor controls for companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, TikTok, and Snapchat, plus protection against email tracking pixels, fingerprinting scripts, and cryptomining. Tracker Protection runs in the background without requiring a VPN, sign-in, or server switching. Built by Disconnect, the privacy technology provider behind tracker protection in Firefox and Microsoft Edge.

## Review summary

Reviewers consistently praise Tracker Protection for strong, updating privacy protection and an easy, low-burden setup. Many view it as reliable over time. The main recurring drawbacks relate to DNS-based features: conflicts with some apps that require turning off Privacy DNS, and setup options that are unclear or incomplete in the VPN/DNS area. Some users also report compatibility sensitivity with other DNS tools.

### Pros

- Strong privacy/tracker protection with regular updates to adapt to evolving threats.
- Easy to set up and use; lightweight and generally battery-friendly.
- Positive, long-term reliability with widespread user satisfaction.

### Cons

- DNS/privacy features can conflict with other apps, requiring Privacy DNS to be turned off for some apps to work.
- DNS setup/availability is unclear or incomplete (no DNS option in VPN settings; setup instructions can be misleading).
- Using third-party DNS tools or strict DNS settings can affect blocking effectiveness or cause trackers to become visible.
