This is one of the reasons I use a VPN - I can set it up to disallow contact with Facebook and other trackers at the DNS level, rather than fiddle with content blockers on all of my devices.

But then again, unless you're setting up your own VPN infra, I don't trust anyone with my data.

If you've set up your own infra, deets please!

Do those blacklists break any functionality on these apps?

I don't use Facebook so I wouldn't know. I haven't had any issues so far on the sites I visit.
