I don't think so. UK doesn't allow that. Only 30 countries do: https://www.businessinsider.com/countries-that-recognize-birthright-citizenship-jus-soli-2018-10

  That list seems off. Multiple European countries that I know of should be on that list.

  Are other countries more, or less strict?

  That is using "birthright citizenship" as a synonym for jus soli birthright citizenship. This article is looking at birthright citizenship more broadly and is including jus sanguinis in its definition of birthright citizenship. Virtually every country[1] has birthright citizenship under this broader definition. [1] The only exception I'm aware of is Vatican City, where citizenship is based on appointment to a position in the church.
