Why does Tor Browser have Google Firebase Analytics based on Exodus info?

I am shocked to find that Exodus says Tor in Android contains google firebase analytics and many permissions including the ability to read fingerprints. Is this a mistake?

Does this mean any App with Internet blocked but firebase analytics could still communicate with Tor Browser firebase analytics to send out data to google through Tor Browser?

Meatheadmarty Considering that Exodus doesn't denote the USE_FINGERPRINT permission with an exclamation mark like it does with Read_External_Storage and Camera, there should be safeguards

Again, Exodus is not a reliable source for determining the presence of trackers in apps. There are multiple threads on this. Here's one that links to the others: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24896-exodus-not-running-properly/2

Only Mozilla and Sentry. And obviously it will ask for lots of permissions, it's a browser, not a note taking app.
