Duckduckgo found tracking attempts in mull for me. It hasn't in Firefox. I don't know what makes the difference though.

I'm not sure about Mull because I've never tried it. I use Fennec, which purportedly removes the problematic telemetry, but I'll be honest I've never actually verified this.

I do know some apps instead of removing trackers will replace them with dummy trackers, so I wonder if this might be what duckduckgo is detecting. I don't really know since I also avoid duckduckgo lol
