I might have misunderstood this but is Android really trying to push this as tracking as a privacy upgrade, simply because it let’s us choose which of our interests we want advertisers to have access to?

Any App that shows any ads gets deleted right on the spot. Simple as that.
When I started using NextDNS, I changed my mind about that. It’s a bit like having a pi-hole with you even when you’re not on your home network.
There’s probably a FOSS app that does the same thing without ads and tracking
DNS66 from F-Droid.

Their content blocking seems to run on a cloud service that you connect to via their app but it looks like it works the same for the end user.

Eh, I don’t care about apps that are just utilities I use every once in a while, but I’ve set up my network to be unprofitable for any advertiser.
How did you do that?
Whole home VPN and a pi hole
