UBlock origin adblocker is probably all most people realistically need

Use the facebook container extension on firefox so your session is isolated from the rest of your browsing. Also look up guides to harden firefox.
You can use both through the browser, which is the safest way of doing things because the browser sandboxes the web apps, isolating them from your system. If you prefer an app for Messenger, look on Flathub, though I advise against it. The two apps I found for Messenger are Franz and Ferdium (a fork of Franz with more features).
To mitigate the privacy risks:
- Firefox with uBlock Origin (or Librewolf)
- Avoid sharing anything sensitive.
Nothing much you can do sadly.
Like everyone else said. You're pretty much fighting against tracking cookies at this point. My 2 cents. "Hardened" Firefox running containers for personal, shopping and that stiff. uBlock origin, Privacy Badger by the EFF and look up user-agent spoofing. Set your user-agent to something like Windows 11 chrome. If you're feeling adventurous look into a pi-hole as well.
