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

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.

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. :)

That’s the fun part. They come preinstalled!

some android phones go as far as come with an ununinstallable system app called “meta services” beyond the regular zucc apps.

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

No WhatsApp?

I’d nail my foot to the floor before I installed WhatsApp.
Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 2 days 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.
