@lukasmueller Yes, it is sent despite opting out. App tracking is also denied. You can see that in the screenshot:

"unifiedconfig.pii.advertisingTrackingId":00000000000000000

The value is zeros because I denied the apps access to tracking.

@mysk I completely overlooked that. Thank you!
I'm always confirmed that it's right to filter tracking domains at DNS level to at least block known 3rd party trackers and advertisers.

@lukasmueller No worries 🙏
Advanced users can always find a way. Average users won't do any blocking and they are the vast majority of users. I think if average users also used DNS blocking, trackers would change tactics and start alternating their domain names.

@mysk Even as an experienced user, one is unfortunately very limited in options, as there is always a compromise between data protection and usability. Especially on mobile devices and when using apps, the possibilities are limited. In addition, the major players don't need third-party tracking, and built-in tracking can easily be served by the content domains
