Falsely reporting that IronFox, Fennec F-Droid, and Tor Browser contain 'tracking' libraries

Do you use TrackerControl from Google Play/F-Droid/other? 2025.12.15-fdroid

Describe the bug TrackerControl is incorrectly claiming that IronFox contains Mozilla Telemetry & Sentry tracking, despite us going through great lengths to remove/stub/no-op these libraries, disable telemetry, etc...

This has caused us to receive multiple complaints from users being misled.

TrackerControl is also making similar false claims for Fennec F-Droid and Tor Browser.

Please fix this; this is actively harming users and turning them to use other browsers that are actually tracking them and far less private and secure... (For reference, TrackerControl claims that Google Chrome has no tracking libraries under this section :/)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install TrackerControl.
  2. Install IronFox, Fennec F-Droid, and/or Tor Browser.
  3. Select IronFox, Fennec F-Droid, or Tor Browser in TrackerControl.
  4. Observe the incorrect detected tracker libraries under the Tracker libraries section.
