Bro what are you talking about, you used to lift?
You're talking about possibly multiple different squat types. A full depth squat you'll naturally want to use the bounce, that means you've done the exercise correctly, it's entirely natural.
A full depth squat with no bounce would be called a pause squat, you are purposefully controlling the bounce so you train a different part of the movement, you use these with regular squats.
A box squat or parallel squat does not use the full range of motion, you either stop at your thighs being parallel to the ground or you use a box or a chair for a queue.
If you have someone discovered something that every expert hasn't, you should write a book!
The thing about full squats is that when you go below parallel, you put more stain on the tendons in your knees than your muscles. There's greater potential to hurt yourself.
