Searching for Web browsers in the Aurora Store and checking for trackers I was really surprise that TOR Browser has 2 trackers according to Exodus. WTF!!!

maybe residual firefox configs that were disabled but not purged?
The first tracker is “Mozilla telemetry” probably a leftover, the other is “Sentry” which is a crash reporter, Sentry is not a problem i think
AFAIK Sentry is mostly bug or error checker and its send to the devs.
I tried TOR just once; it doesn’t fit my needs. But for others, this program is essential to their safety—even their LIVES. Just one tracker is too much.
Inherited from Firefox and disabled
Tor is aware, and are working to completely remove the trackers that were transferred over from the code. That being said, all the trackers are disabled by default so it’s not like they’re actually reporting anywhere. Tor has one of the best track records for privacy of any software. I don’t think your raising any flags or blowing any whistles that the people who trust Tor are unaware of.
