Seeing it != blocking it.

If you can see it you can make an informed choice if the tradeoff is worth it.

If you can see it, but can't block it, then you've already lost a part of it before you can make that informed decision.

Of course you can block it, a private DNS with ad blocking is trivial to setup. Knowing about it is far important as you can make informed decisions.

You basically need your own VPN server with Pi-hole installed to control the tracking. It is a very effective way to block this, but not that easy to setup.

If you can use NextDNS, you have something akin to a Pi Hole.
