I wouldn’t trust a random app with my browser history and majority of population wouldn’t either.

It doesn't have to be random if it's self-hosted or runs on your device.
Chrome, Brave, and Firefox already have your browser history.
As do your ISP and DNS provider (at the domain level).

As do ad networks, in part (although the browser fingerprint might not be correlated with your actual identity).

As do Five Eyes, depending where you live (again, domain level, plus some metadata; page size can peak through https to some extent).

As do CloudFlare in part.

Or, potentially as does your VPN provider ... or anyone capable of correlating traffic across TOR (NSA?).
