Yes - or rather you have more control over what you decide to let it track.

Yes that makes the life easier. Tracking is always pain in the a*. This could make a huge difference.

My thesis is that if you care about being tracked enough that you'd want to turn it off, you're also technical enough to do it.
I may be wrong.

Perhaps it's not the tracking itself that we care about, but control over when it occurs and by whom.

Not at all. You're disabling the tracking and data aggregation elements in lieu of a static option which may or may not be accurate.

You will have the option to enable tracking. We won't all have to see it the same way now. Those of us who don't see it your way will no longer be tracked involuntarily.
