Most of them were cases where I wasn't surprised they had data but a bit surprised they shared it.
I think my phone came with a sonos app installed, though not certain about that. I got rid of it if it was, though I can't say if the most recent update from them was before or after that.
But a few of them I'm not really sure why they are on there. There was another one that I didn't list that just had the label "IDK", not sure if that's a real name or "I don't know". I'm assuming they came from effective fingerprinting/tracking.
I might look into an addon that fakes some of the information the browser sends like OS version and resolution. Maybe that will make fingerprinting harder.
