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.

It doesn't, those are stubs. Exodus will decompile and look for functions and imported APIs, not if the functions are actually filled out. This is a good approach a lot of the time, but has false positives like this occasionally.

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.

Is there a way to tell if an app only has these stubs or if they are fully functional trackers?

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.
