This is not true, tracking is more prevalent than ever. Legislation and public backlash have forced service providers to ask before they track. However, advancements in ML and commoditization of big data engineering solutions have made it easier than ever for more events to be tracked and more accurate profiling to be possible.

For the average user, against the larger players in the market?
Tracking is far better now than it was in 2006, and I say that as someone who is hugely against tracking. We have the Do Not Track header, which a lot of companies actually pay attention to, we have much better privacy plugins and ad-blockers (privacy badger, u-block origin, pi-hole, etc), and we have a growing consensus that tracking isn't actually that effective which seems to be pushing some companies to try alternative models in their advertising revenue, and their ad spend on the other side.
Things are better.
