With the little information given here, it looks like that's the information Google is known to track. Which is definitely not new information. Nor is it surprising that an Android app using ads would serve Google ads.
Says "36 tracking attempts blocked ".. So perhaps poor wording on duckduckgos part?
I would totally believe that it blocked that many attempts at IP connections or even potentially grabbing device info. Idk what the duckduckgo product can intercept and reports here. But the UI definitely seems to decouple "we blocked X attempts" from the types of tracking Google is known to do.
My suspicion is that in apps that e.g. include Google and Facebook you'd see both listed with N attempts and similar "here's what Facebook is known to collect."
