    I think “metal pixel” has just become what they call their trackers, not that its an actual pixel any longer. I could be wrong but I’ve heard references to the “meta pixel” for enough years after most companies switch to JS or other methods that I jumped to conclusions.

        You can find routers and what not with various PiHole like software. If you’re comfortable with network engineering then you can certainly write NACLs and the like to blacklist tracking networks.

        Stopping them at the browser level is also reasonably effective. EFF’s Privacy Badger is a must have extension for me.
