From DuckDuckGo:

For what it’s worth, I subscribed to Ultra about an hour ago and DDG hasn’t picked up any additional tracking attempts since then. I think it may be limited entirely to Google’s ad service for the free, ad-supported tier and maybe crash diagnostics that the app gives you the option of enabling or disabling.

Just to add onto this good answer, you are really only expected to tip for sit-down restaurants with service and bars.

For takeout, cafes, fast food, etc., you don’t need to tip. A lot of places these have payment machines that just ask if you want to tip by default. You can safely hit “No tip” on these if you don’t want to.

Ostensibly it’s just to replace the tip jar for those who don’t use cash, but the prompt appearing every time you pay by card has convinced a lot of people that tipping is what you’re supposed to do in those situations, when in reality you have no obligation to.

FYI: This is mainly going to be a rebalance/bugfix patch. Expect both PvE rebalances now that the dust has settled on the Savage race and PvP rebalances as followup for all of the Frontlines adjustments.

The following content will not be coming until 6.45 sometime in late July/early August:

• Blue Mage Update

• Mount Rokkon (Variant and Criterion Dungeon)

• New Hildibrand Quests

• Next Relic Weapon Stage

• Next Crafting/Gathering Relic Stage

The island sanctuary bug fix concerning the Workshop Board that was originally slated to come with 6.41 ended up arriving earlier as a hotfix, but there may be other fixes included in this patch that were not mentioned as part of the original 6.4 patch notes.
