    So if you’re privacy conscious and using something like NextDNS to block pixels and other shady tracking mechanisms at the DNS level, all’s good? When I left Facebook back in 2016, I started with Pihole, but I like NextDNS because it’s easier to use when not at home and I can manage profiles for family members easily in case to do find something they “need” to work. Why people willingly want to see ads is beyond me.

      It’s hard to say, but basic precautions like a browser based ad blocker would filter out probably 90%+ of this tracking. Firefox and Safari even have this baked in to the browser, you just need to turn it on.
