What is up with the amount of trackers in Ironfox? Way more than any other apps.

Surely this is not in keeping with their whole privacy vibe?

        What is the name of this app you’re using to get these stats?

        It’s awfully ambiguous with the data it provides. I feel like if you were given more info it wouldn’t have been so scary, but instead it’s just labeled “14 companies” with no extra information.

        Are you able to tap on it to get more data?

        What doesn’t add up? I don’t understand what you are objecting to here.

        Web sites have trackers. You showed a screenshot of a browser plugin (? apparently) blocking a bunch of them for you.

        What specifically do you think doesn’t add up?

          It has been explained in a couple of other responses, but, I was concerned that there were so many trackers associated with Ironfox in the Tracker Control app, however it seems that Tracker Control handles browsers differently and the entries are generated from browsing activity as opposed to being baked into the app itself.

            You should also know that cookies and browsing history are not wiped between sessions unless you explicitly click the “quit IronFox” button.

              Thanks, yeah I knew that. I’d love if there was a setting to nuke them on closing the app as opposed to having to quit!
