Why the .... Tracker blocking Foss app have trackers
ACRA is a crash reporting library used in many Libre android apps (including the F-Droid client itself). It is often considered a "tracker" because it can send crash reports automatically without user consent, however, this particular app (TrackerControl) does not do this, according to its readme.

Why does F-droid have trackers?
Why AM considers ACRA as tracker (and not logger like AppWarden does)? See the README page: https://github.com/ACRA/acra. It explicitly states that ACRA can be used to send not only the crash reports but also other information directly from the app if the app has the INTERNET permission. This is what makes it a tracker because it can send information to the server without any user intervention or consent. F-Droid doesn’t use this feature (and probably many apps don’t) but that’s left for the user to find out. But if people didn’t know about the existence of this tracker, they would never ask F-Droid for an explanation. A tracker is a tracker regardless of who use them. If AM used some form of whitelists, that would raise the question of authoritarianism.
