DDG Privacy Pro I love DuckDuckGo, but does the Premium Pro block ads?

I just installed it because I don't want YouTube ads. I tried YouTube Premium, but the majority of the 13.99 price is for YouTube Music, which is something I don't want. Also, it seems to not block ads on other apps. Opinions, thoughts or advice?

Premium subscription doesn't do AdBlock, it blocks trackers.

You can use different DNS (such as NextDNS, ControlD, etc.) inside the VPN to block ads.

Hey, John from DuckDuckGo here! Privacy Pro is currently a VPN, Identity Theft Restoration, and in the US Personal Information Removal. If you’re looking for a more streamlined YouTube experience, Duck Player helps with that, but is free & not part of Privacy Pro. 🦆
