meta is really hard to block effectivly.

I once tried to block the app from running on my home network, as an experiment.

Blocking the DNS didn't work, and even when I blackholed the various ASNs to make the route not work, I still managed to get the app to work.

I mean block trackers added on other sites bundles that need to download js to do anything.

Yeah you can stop the JS from loading if you have an well maintained plugin that specialises in it (or no-script that nukes all JS from orbit)

but trying to stop Instgram/facebook apps connecting is a whole another level of difficulty.
