Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

      Chromium contains it. Up to the browser bundling it how they configure/patch it.

          The official Firefox on Android is all there is.

          iOS only has WebKit (for now).

            I should have specified,I meant open source version/app,or official. I prefer open source,but at one time fdroid had several versions,but I’m not against the stock app. I’ve been ootl for a while on what’s up with ff.
