Why does Tor Browser have trackers?
!F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository I checked out tor browser in exodus and got to know it have 3 trackers.
Mozilla tracking,Sentry and Google Analytics.
Why is it the case?
Is Tor Private to use after this?

in reply to cum • • •Quite true. Actually trying to remove all traces of them may break a number of things, hence the stubs are left. It is just easier this way when lacking a full on, well-payed team of software coders and engineers.
Essentially, false positives.

in reply to Testing It • • •Yes Tor is safe to use. The trackers and non-free software are "leftovers" as people have already said. (I believe this is true with the F-droid version)
Its odd to me that Tor would go the proprietary route with this but ah well.
