    Firefox (with strict security settings) combined with NextDNS and uBlock Origin seems to get around all the tracking nonsense.

      A good alternative is Librewolf imho as it comes with many privacy-friendly settings by default. Maybe this is interesting for users less tech savvy or for those who just want to avoid investing time changing the Firefox settings.

        I agree wholeheartedly.

      On which platform did you get this result?

      I’m not able to avoid this particular tracking. It might be because of a difference between desktop/mobile platform, or a different DNS provider.
