I wish it provides ad blocking too

[TheMystic]

At the moment, there is no such setting. But i have configured my router to block all ads by default. So i don't see them anyways. 🤩

That's great, but what about while you're on cellular data?
And can you please provide a link for the tools/process used to block ads

As with blocking ads on the router, simply change the DNS servers to the following:

94.140.14.14
94.140.15.15

My laptops connect to WiFi only, so like all other devices at my home and office, none of them show ads. 🤩

I'm using this on Android and set Duckduckgo as default browser, whenever i click on a link, be it from anyapp, it opens up in the browser before prompting an option to open it in respective app, and the webpage stays open on the browser after being redirected making it cluttered, is there a workaround while using it as default browser instead of chrome?

[TheMystic]

Change this setting to open in app always:

 

And this setting as shown to clear clutter:
