I believe there's a slicer setting somewhere to always travel within already printed material, which prevents stringing entirely if there's no disconnected pieces in a layer. The problem is I set it a long time ago when I had issues, then forgot it.
Combing: https://all3dp.com/2/combing-mode-cura-simply-explained/
In my experience, combing mode will drag the nozzle across the print too violently and often results in the print getting knocked loose depending on the surface area. I'd rather deal with some plastic 'spiderweb' than have to reprint something 17 times. A lighter or heat gun will take care of it in seconds after removing the bulk with your fingers.
