I use jerboa, liftoff, and connect. Connect is the only one that has this kind of tracking 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.

Thanks for the clarification.

Tracker Control is still finding loads of tracking even when opening links externally. Thoughts

Enable the option to open linkd in the external browser, these trackers are coming from the websites you visit.

how does one get this app tracking protection?

edit: I found out it's available in the duckduckgo app for android

Could that be counting links you're visiting inside the app? That seems a lot for one small app, but less so for a handful of popular large websites.

Is that app tracking protection a newer android thing?

It's using the Duckduckgo app
