I like how much info about the subject OP posted.
I like how OP posted a statement as a question, so I know I don’t need to read more.
Gonna give away the max details you can to have people being more able to help you
TrackerControl uses an on-device mock VPN to listen for DNS requests to known advertisers/trackers.
If you’re using a browser and navigate to a website with any tracking URLs, when they get queried TC will hear those and flag. If you have the F-Droid version you can have it block those extra requests, but better is having a properly configured ad blocker on your browser.
The problem isn’t the apps, it’s the sites you’re visiting.

Things like tracker pixels still exist. Even without JavaScript the page you’re browsing may ping

Oh, got it, thanks!
I believe TC mentioned its not designed for browsers. I’m guessing it’s just something with how browers are structured, haven’t really done research.
