Meta Quest 3 - Privacy workaround?

Is there any up-to-date method to keep the Meta Quest 3 as privacy friendly as possilbe? I know it can't be made perfect, but maybe some known working block lists etc.?

i'm thinking about getting one but their data hoarding is the reason i don't want to. Unless i can somehow make it less invasive.

I did this by getting rid of my OQ2, but until then, I used this list in my DNS adblocker, which seemed effective:

0.0.0.0 oculus.com 0.0.0.0 oculuscdn.com 0.0.0.0 facebook-hardware.com 0.0.0.0 graph.oculus.com 0.0.0.0 fbsbx.com 0.0.0.0 crashlytics.com 0.0.0.0 edge-mqtt.facebook.com 0.0.0.0 scontent-frt3-1.xx.fbcdn.net 0.0.0.0 rupload.facebook.com 0.0.0.0 graph.oculus.com 0.0.0.0 graph.oculus.com.lan 0.0.0.0 mqtt-mini.facebook.com
- Interesting, you don't have any limitations i assume?
  
  i want to use it solely for streaming steam games to it. I wouldn't even want to touch anything else. I don't know if i can dodge the store completely by using ALVR instead of Steam Link.
  
  "limitations" - I couldn't auto-update apps or the OS, I considered that a feature. I didn't do anything besides use VR Desktop and try and fail to use ALVR, that all worked fine. ALVR didn't work because SteamVR on Linux is hot garbage, not because of my DNS blocking.
