This doesn't add any extra tracking, in fact it's intent is to make interacting with advertising more anonymous from a user perspective (click that learn more button).

On top of that, the author says "..or switching to a more privacy-conscious browser such as Google Chrome", which pretty much invalidates everything they have to say.

And the article tells how to switch it off. Yes, it should not have been enabled by default, but it looks like it can at least be disabled.
