I feel like that’s all you need. You don’t have their apps installrd, so the problem is already solved. If you use uBlock Origin to block their trackers, the problem is solved. So you’ve solved it twice.

We found that browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Edge are susceptible to this form of browsing history leakage in both default and private browsing modes. Brave browser was unaffected by this issue due to their blocklist and the blocking of requests to the localhost; and DuckDuckGo was only minimally affected due to missing domains in their blocklist.
Aside from having uBlock Origin and not having any Meta/Yandex apps installed, anyone aware of additional Firefox settings that could help shut this nonsense down?

Yes and no, I’ve treated the symptoms, but not the problem. All it takes is a trillion dollar company buying a new domain every once in a while to foil uBlock, and now that it’s more known, anyone can create an an app that opens ports and listens for trackers.
Would love it if Firefox would let me block all requests to localhost.

I know that people here generally like to shit on Brave, but it seems that the claim “Privacy by default” has held up in this context.
