I limit as much as I can through a combination of privacy-respecting apps and fewer apps (if I can reliably use the web browser for something, I will) and then use custom DNS filters (NextDNS) to minimise further leakage. I also disable any pre-installed applications I don't need (you can remove them with Universal Android Debloater but I don't need the extra storage space). I also use a VPN at all times.
