Your logic is smart, but flawed. The best defense is openness when you lack the control to air gap, in which case you should expose your data to the two highest bidders.

To be fair, Google regularly tries to grab GPS data using its 1e100.net domain (see above # for additional proofs). The only way I've found to block this kind of intrusion is NetGuard in "lockdown" mode.

balibebas··on Chrome 71 will block any and all ads on sites with “abusive experiences”
Most of that is conjecture. What they choose to block is not a browser responsibility but one of the search engine results page. When they block new tech threatening their business model it'll be months if not years before anyone "gets it".

I'm using DDG Browser to weeks after recently giving up on Brave. The DDG browser is nice and all but not as well designed as FOSS Browser (available on F-Droid). Thanks for offering a popular alternative though.
