    the tracking sites will just go to IP based tracking.

    Good luck with IP address-based tracking when you have 10,000 different people behind one IPv4 address. This can happen with carrier-grade NAT, with ISP-wide caching proxies like those used by AOL and the ISP formerly known as Qtel, or with Tor exits.

    Or did you mean the other kind of IP?
