I mean, not any more than certain kinds of code being faster than others in browsers. There's tons of stuff out there on how to optimize your site for browsers, and browsers make conscious decisions on what kind of code will be faster all the time. Also I think tracking protection is off by default except in private browsing mode, and if it's something you need to explicitly enable that's no different from the "neutrality" issues caused by installing an adblocker (there are no issues). This also ties into the whole concept of "a browser is a user agent" (http://words.steveklabnik.com/user-agent-moz-a http://words.steveklabnik.com/user-agent-moz-a), i.e. it advocates for you. Here it's trying to get the actual content loaded faster. ISPs are not user agents, they are more like a utility.
