I do not use any of facebook's apps or websites

But from what I can see from DuckDuckGo App tracking protection multiple apps load Facebook trackers. Basically there is no escaping facebook even if you don't touch any of their apps.

Pi Hole or a similar DNS sink is a reasonable improvement, though obviously not a complete solution.

Yes I use Adguard Home.

But how many are tech savy enough to have a separate device and run Aguard / Pi Hole all the time for privacy.
