Apple did, often since 2017, scan faces for 30,000 data points in 3d FOR EMOTION TRACKING in Animojis in 2017 and later, but now in 2021 they do it on home screen and measure pupil and study gaze direction.

Learn and read. Lots of links support all I just typed.

It's been true a long time. The ideal was an "encyclopedia anyone could edit" with "the sum of all human knowledge". Now it is 1000000 times more important to leave out what needs to be left out, than to include what needs to be included, so they use unlimited, creepy, secret means to track users, which necessitates blocking proxies. We have no idea what kind of tactics they really use, but what leaks from their vague descriptions of "behavioral characteristics" in their so-called "AN/I" board is that they are probably using (at least) browser fingerprinting tactics. But they also supplant with a strong dose of simply banning anything they're not sure about or don't understand.

Every for-profit is corrupt, every non-profit is corrupt, and a cabal of spies rules over them all.

You would have to make the browser engine run through the Tor proxy (socks5://127.0.0.1:9050), including DNS requests to resolve onions. But why no one forked Tor? It's probably because Firefox and its Gecko browser engine aren't dead yet, but it might be in the future, so it's probably a good idea to use Pale Moon as a replacement, especially with the Proxy Privacy Ruler, which allows for applying the proxy only for private windows and/or certain domains. But they'll probably not do that and just accept to use Chromium and its Blink browser engine (I mean, Pale Moon is bad... but it's still better than what Chromium is trying to do).

SInce 2017 for their Animojis, lots of links. But now in 2021 they use pupil and gaze track to dim screen, and encode 3d faces to cloud. They call the 30,000 plotted 3d pixels... NOT A PHOTO in court documents, when they can be trivially used to make a accurate photo from the 30,000 plotted points.
