Sounds like using noscript and only allowing sites that do not do this would prevent this type of tracking.

Great point.

I'll add that, Vanadium, the GrapheneOs rebuild of Chromium, has a very nice interface for enabling JavaScript one site at a time.

Of course, I also won't install apps made by Meta or Yandex.

I would suggest looking into non-chrome based browsers.
