Ergo why I run Ublock Origin, Noscript, and have a whole slew of public IP blacklists for trackers and whatnot as well as DNS lists running at the firewall. I can tell the big boys absolutely hate this because I get cloudflare captchas "are you a bot" all over the place. Block outbound requests on UDP port 443 to block QUIC. If you can restrict HTTP/2 its also better although this may make accessing some sites(possibly this one, as it uses cloudflare) impossible. I also ditch IPv6 at the firewall, and the switches don't pass it upstream, internally. I also go through the requests for some sites I frequent and systematically block requests and scripts I don't like.
Edit for juicy extra paranoia(lol):
They're even recording what you point your mouse or finger at on the screen, how long you're doing it, which things you look at more than once, how fast or slow you move the mouse and where, etc etc. They're using all of that to fingerprint you as well. There are minor variations in the human motor response...............
