    I’m on grapheneOS using Ironfox (fork of Mull because it’s been killed off), I should be safe, right?

      No. They are fingerprinting you when you use Google services, including Google ads on other sites.

        IronFox enabled RFP. I’m guessing it is somewhat safe. Either that or Brave Browser but I understand if you prefer avoid using Eich’s software.

        I wonder how it is deployed. If client side then uBlock Origin or NoScript might avoid.
