Tracking isn't "hostility and disrespect": it's remembering people to show them a thing they liked before. There are many easy ways for web users not to be remembered.

Please mention some of them.

I get Google bubbled all the time and receive either targeted ads or nag screens from Google itself. I would love to be able to use Gmail without such issues.

Additionally many sites fail to work properly unless certain tracking JavaScript is enabled.

Sure.

1. Start an incognito window.

2. Tell Google you prefer untargeted ads.

Re: 2, Google also has a cool search engine you can use to learn about things like how to stop ads from remembering you.
