Yes, but by "functions that can be used to track you", you're including user accounts, logins, forms, surveys, &c.
The term "tracking" has become abstracted to a point where many forget that they usually want to be "tracked" (by hitting "reply" here on HN, YCombinator is "tracking" who I am - user account - and what I've written).
If you'd be happy with a browser exclusively to view public, static content, then it could be done.
For selectively disabling tracking, you need uMatrix[0], but a component of the Firefox bug being reported here is that the extensions API used by uMatrix is failing to block GA in this particular case.

All of these can be (and are) implemented without JS. > but a component of the Firefox bug being reported here is that the extensions API used by uMatrix is failing to block GA in this particular case. uMatrix and uBlock Origin fail to block GA only when using their web extension versions.
