DuckDuckGo found a Tracker?

Hello, I apologise if this information is already available somewhere, but I just couldn't find it.

I recently installed the DuckDuckGo app on Android 12 (Samsung One UI 4.1) which has a feature that blocks trackers from other apps.

While using Firefox it seems to have found and blocked a tracker simply called "Adjust" (this is where usually a brand name to whom the tracker belongs would be, e.g. google or amazon). It asks for: Device model, OS compilation number, type of connection, screen pixel density, country, OS version, unique ID, app name, CPU name, cookies, device language, post code, device make/brand, app version, e-mail address, android advertisement ID.

I don't really know what to think about all this, but I wouldn't expect firefox to track me in any way, I've trusted mozilla so far, and am inclined to continue to do so, but I'm confused by this and don't know what to make of it. The DuckDuckGo app doesn't really offer more information, and I might try asking them as well, idk. Googling didn't really help me, so I'll be thankful for any answer.

i need external help submitting this info, absolutely every single page the samsung store and google play store work fine. im using the android version of firefox of the latest version.

>when i visit youtube or any other page as well as download small files on BOTH my super computer and my android it works completely fine. when i visit the accounts page and sync page on firefox on my super computer it works fine.

>when i try to visit the sync page issued from the menu in firefox android on samsung it completely blocks it

>when i visit the main mozilla page and click accounts and login it works fine.

bottom line:: samsung is violating ianna law to be overzealous about backdoor security.

I have received the following message: "We've spotted a new security breach: Search results for your ld@***.co.uk account have detected that your email may have been exposed. We recommend you act now to resolve this breach." Sender was Firefox Monitor: breach-alerts@mozilla.com. Not sure if this is a scam, but also not sure HOW I should act to resolve this breach, if it is legitimate. Can anyone help me?

I wanted to urge you to make a Mozilla email system that does not track us, that is secure, and does not sell our info. I am tired of Google and have been hearing of many unethical things they are doing. It would be nice to have a Mozilla email with the Relay built in. I would even pay for it too. Something like $3-4 per month.

Thanks

I'm way out of date when it comes to technology - I've had iPhones for years and after being hacked and my identity stolen I'm extremely nervous about the pixel 7 pro security and I could use some pointers on account security. I'd like to meet and take part in the community but I can't do that if my information isn't safe and I have difficulty knowing what is or isn't safe

Firebox emailed me that a data search revealed that Search results have detected that your email may have been exposed. It recommended you act now to resolve this breach. It said password and partial credit card data was compromised. Is this a legitimate notice or a scam to get me to click the link it provided to go to Dashboard.
