i wrote above that I went to the Mastodon instance and there were no trackers there.
For the purity of the experiment, I reinstalled the browser again and the first site I visited was a Mastodon instanse https://social.tchncs.de/
There are no trackers.
I went to the Lemmy.world website and the firewall also found this tracker.
Yes. I specifically downloaded the new jQuarks browser just now to make it easy to detect new trackers, and went to https://lemmy.today . Firewall shows tracker appbrain.com
I don’t use an mp3 player. It is inconvenient to carry two devices in your pocket at once. But phones tend to lack physical buttons to control music, and that’s inconvenient.

Isn’t there bad code in the free software world?
I remember the news when Dwango company decided to open source the Toonz program.
On one of the forums I read a lot of criticism about the quality of their code.
But no one will deny that this is a useful program for artists, even if the program code is not very good.

I think that the standard look of web UI, for people accustomed to the look of modern social networks, may not be attractive.
I enabled traffic logging in the firewall After stopping all Internet applications, only Google framework services exchange traffic. This is probably the activity of system applications.
As for browser traffic, I don’t know which IPs may belong to advertising services.
I found some mention in the search engine:
