Those in the beginning stages of privacy planning will start looking at the more obvious low hanging fruit in the Internet privacy infrastructure. There are stores identifying the trackers in apps or use an app like Exodus to target so people think this is the most important thing to focus on.

This shows a complete misunderstanding of what makes the Internet dangerous. Exodus is useless. And I will tell you the bad news. It is impossible to stop all the trackers. In fact, some trackers will not leave a trace. For example, there's Browser Fingerprinting.

I don't know why other privacy or security people don't teach this properly. And it is is likely because they don't really understand what's going on.

I will tell you the correct way to manage trackers and also will tell you not to obsess about this. What you need instead is a proper understanding and then you will find that trackers are easy to beat. I'll teach you how.
