I use uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger on my desktop and phone, as well as Blokada, and yet Facebook still had a bunch of app activity even though I never ever sign in to stuff using FB (or even gave the apps my email or any other piece of personal data).
I literally just opened the app, granted no permissions, used it a bit, and Facebook associated it with my account. What the fuck.

Then, if you have a first-party Facebook app like Messenger, that too can send your IMEI to Facebook and link it back to your Facebook account.
