EasyPrivacy should block Meta and Yandex pixels by default. If you have the knowledge you can put uBO in “hard mode” which will block all 3p connections. It requires you to know which CDNs to allow or websites will be broken.
Comment on Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers - Ars Technica

I am assuming all of this trash is blocked by uBlock Origin?

I am aware of hardmode, I used to use NoScript.
It’s a bit too much work these days.

Seems like it’s transferred through a cookie and javascript, so in theory you can block it with ublock or noscript and the like, but a sure way to block is to not have meta apps installed on your phone (or not signed in).

I don’t have any Meta apps installed. :)

No WhatsApp?
Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Got me on that one! I forgot about WhatsApps.
For what it’s worth I didn’t have it logged in until last week when I needed to get in touch with someone.
I will need to log out.

I’d nail my foot to the floor before I installed WhatsApp.

That’s the fun part. They come preinstalled!

I’m so quick to install a custom ROM, I forgot the spyware comes pre-installed. Ugh.

Check that “Filter lists > Privacy > Block outsider intrusion into LAN” is enabled and you should be fine
