You’re willingly giving your data away as soon as you buy a smartphone. Just using FF and UBO isn’t doing anything to help that.
I’m baffled as to how you seem to believe these two things somehow are making your personal data untouchable. There is no reality that exists where you aren’t giving up an enormous amount of personal data.
Those things only help make the web less annoying.
I’m not using any Meta or standard service to justify funneling any data from my side to them.
My setup blocks most trackers and ads than the average person. I do not even see ads on my phone be it a website or a native app. I reduce my reliance on google only to what’s needed. Others do not get it unless needed. This reduces data collection to a high degree.
This loophole for example did not touch my phone since ads and trackers are already blocked to a high degree.
This exploit involved Meta and Yandex apps running servers on your phone which Javascript embedded in trackers would communicate with. You’d have to both allow their trackers and have their apps installed to be affected.
Well, I do need to exist a certain degree in this world/society by giving away from some data.
I’m already an outcast in a way that I do not use popular social media apps/websites most people use.
I can stop more data collection by installing Linux, AOSP, GrapheneOS with bare minimum apps from fdroid.
I could’ve done that but would be making my life more difficult for little gain.
Limiting the data being thrown out the window is doable. You’ll see folks trying to “De-Google” which is understandable. But you’re effectively changing the entire way you use the internet. So if that’s something you’re comfortable with, there’s that.

Aaaaand…
You’re still giving hoards of data away.
Until you realize how this is possible, you and me cannot have this conversation.

Exactly. You get it.
