I would love to share what I have done to make it more tolerable and less evasive :

1 - I dont have it on my phone, I use when im on the computer only.
2 - In my browser I use the following plugins which are a godsend :

- FB Purity - https://www.fbpurity.com/ ( filters all the junk you dont want to see )
- FB Container - Dont let facebook talk outside of its browser window - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ook-container/

Other noteworthy apps that make the web a much better place, Ublock Origin ( ad blocker ) and the best PiHole a DNS based adblocker for my whole home network. Every device including smart appliances.

Ublock - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ublock-origin/
Pi-Hole -https://pi-hole.net/

Cant escape it all but can fine tune it a little...
pi-hole is interesting. I may look into that. Have you done any research on it? Turning over DNS duties to an app is no small step. I run a Raspberry Pi VPN box and route through it all day long. Adding this piece might be an interesting bonus.
