That might be true at the moment, if you're using a good computer, but many computers do not provide full access to the system, including: Android, iOS, Windows 10. (Almost all mobile devices block root access as much as they can.)
Watch out for attempts to appify the WWW and reduce the ability of consumers to block ads and tracking: AMP, FB Instant Articles, etc.
One of the most dangerous threats to privacy is the increasing restriction on access to devices' hardware and software. If it isn't stopped, there won't be any way to block tracking.
