Except both of those companies still track your activity across the web, with or without an account... In order to care about privacy, a user has to do a hell of a lot more than just not use any of these invasive services.

The other half of the equation is an ad blocker....

iOS has a built in content blocking framework that other developers can plug into

The content blockers submit rules to iOS that Safari uses - the ad blocker doesn’t have access to your browsing history.
