I use jerboa, liftoff, and connect. Connect is the only one that has this kind of tracking going on.
Still seeing lots of tracking even when opening links externally. What's going on?

The latest update addresses this in Settings under Privacy Information. No trackers in Connect, those are the trackers on the websites you're visiting when opening links via the app.
Tracker Control is still finding loads of tracking even when opening links externally. Thoughts
how does one get this app tracking protection?
edit: I found out it's available in the duckduckgo app for android
Is that app tracking protection a newer android thing?
It's using the Duckduckgo app
Oh, nice. Thanks.
Firefox the usual add-ons to block them
I have all the usual add ons in Firefox.
That's why I prefer to use open source solutions.
so then you realize the shit you visit from in-app webview does all the tracking
FOSS apps can be just as malicious as non FOSS apps.
You're absolutely correct, but proprietary software has been overwhelmingly more malicious than most FOSS. Plus, you can determine that FOSS is malicious, where it can be difficult to do the same with proprietary software.
Nobody turns FOSS into proprietary software with the goal of reducing the possibility of it being malicious. That just doesn't make sense.
