    I was using Connect until I have found that there are trackers(via DuckDuckGo app) in it from Facebook. Trackers are common in apps, but if there are options available which give same experience without trackers, I will choose those options.

      This is probably not true. The app collects zero info according to the dev, the privacy policy, and the app store. The dev has stated that the trackers are from the sites you visit, not Connect itself

        Is there a possibility that DuckDuckGo got it wrong? Or is the Meta already trying to track users from threads which is present on fediverse? Latter seems unlikely but who knows.

        I will install Connect again and see if it still gets detected on DuckDuckGo having hidden trackers.

            That’s untrue I installed Connect and used it for 5min. Stayed only in app and didn’t click on any third-party article link, here is the result: 47 trackers in 5 mins

                Yeah all good I don’t want to suspect the dev either but since there are bunch of alternatives available, I’d opt for them than this one. I loved how Connect was the first one to try and implement the swipe between posts feature. Hope it keep doing well in the future.
