I solved the tracking problem very easily with just three Chrome profiles:
1. Gmail work, gmail personal, chrome profile linked to gmail. Some work sites (clicking links from work emails). No other use.
2. Facebook + Vk only, not logged in, ublock origin, only session cookies enabled (exception - facebook).
3. All other browsing, ublock origin, only session cookies, not logged in
With right-click profile switching, it's really not much more hassle than switching between windows.
