The browser has less access to your system, and usually only if you give a specific website permission to use these features. Mobile operating systems are slowly changing that though.
At least on android the browser is limited by the android permission system, i.e. if you dont give browser GPS permissionit cannot give pages dito. In addition the browser will ask if you want to grant an app access to something like positioning data.
Furthermore, it is hard for a web page to run in background and receive user data.
Extended to add don’t use websites without blockers. If they are willing to track via app, why would we think they would not track via browser?

Have you looked at the latest JS standards?

How will that help? It’s even easier to track across websites than apps and websites can also get your ip address to track you.
