Just like any other software on your devices, browsers do call home. What they say is the subject of a privacy study:
Study ranks the privacy of major browsers. Here are the findings | Ars Technica
The study evaluated the content of these calls with default settings for five browsers and the results are not really surpising:
The average browsers are just that, they still collect data that monitors the end user's activities via assisgned identifier, but easier to control than the worst browser.
The Brave browser provided the most privacy and no identifier, that can be further enhanced. Interesting fact... The extensions will veaken the end user's privacy, such as uBlock, Ghostery, etc., that Brave will warn about when installed.
