I'm surprised that browsers nowadays include specific API for better user tracking. At first thought I don't like it. But at second thought I think that I like it. Issue is, webmasters will still track you, like it or not. But with those dedicated APIs tracking will be less annoying and those who can control their browsers, can disable that kind of tracking more easily (provided that they're even aware of those features). Anyway I don't like the direction web standards are evolving. Why have so many custom APIs and attributes? There's already fetch priority flag, that should be enough. This is exponential explosion of APIs. Modern API designers don't know about concept of orthogonal APIs (or I don't know something). Also <a ping attribute seems to track user even if he disabled JavaScript. Bad bad thing.
