You can instead use apps which block trackers. I can recommend 3.

Netguard with tracker filters enabled, PersonalDNS filter โ€“ a fire and forget DNS filter app, or Adguard android app from Adguard website.

The 1st one needs payment to access some pro features but can also block internet connection to all your apps.

The 2nd one is a simple DNS blocker which can have millions of rules and won't choke under the load.

The last one is not Foss or available on fdroid like the 1st two are, but is much more powerful than the 1st two combined.
