To help mitigate this situation, users can and should start to use blockers just like we do on browsers. The best and less invasive I've found so far is Blokada[1].

It works as a fake VPN giving you the power use blocklists to filter all your connections.

Downside is that I believe in doesn't work if you already use a VPN.

So far it has helped me block 80.921 ads and trackers. As a bonus it saved me 242.79MB.

By default it whitelists Google Analytics, so if you don't want that you should disable the whitelist or configure it.
