It would be nice to be able to see a list of applications that contain or have contained a certain tracker, for when a user might want to know if they have used an app in the past that contained a certain tracker which was selling their data.

This feature could be added to the website, on the page of the tracker itself or possibly as a filter on the reports page. It could also be added to the API.

I thought this might be a relevant and interesting feature due to an ongoing case in the Netherlands involving MoPub.

Some apps (like shazam) used to include this tracker but currently do not. Therefore, it might be useful for individuals to see which apps still do include it, and which apps did in the past. This would make it easier to check if an app one used in the past might have sold their data via a specific tracker.

That's a very late reply, but here is my opinion on this: I think this is a better fit for the API indeed than for the website, because of the huge number of replies you might get for such a feature.

I think this could be easily added to the API, we just need to agree on the design (endpoint names, what to return, etc.)
We'll probably need to add pagination at some point too.
