With my experience, LinkedIn will say that you are an anonymous user or give me a list of 15 people to guess who you are. I also don't think the people recommendations algorithm includes whose profile you visit.
There's lots of reasons why I don't want people to know. Like for example, a friend works at company x, so every so often I look at other employee profiles at company x to see if he joined LinkedIn (and is therefore in their connections).
Just harmless stuff like that, which might look sinister to someone who doesn't know the context.
