On my jail broken XR I have a sniffing tool which caught me unsurprised to how many API's are in use to just open an app.
When making purchases online I relax my uMatrix policies (so the payment will go through) but I'm blown away by what's trying to load; I see CDNs for pinterest, tiktok, twitter, linkedin, etc, all wanting to run javascript on my checkout page despite having no visible logo or services. I leave these disabled and have never had a payment fail. But I do wonder what mechanism lands them there.

They're running, just not in the foreground.

If you don't want that then you can also disallow it per app.
