As far as "knowing that people track me"... it's important to remember that anonymity on the Internet, as in real life, is mostly illusory. It disturbs me, too, but what can you do?

There are efforts underway, such as the Freenet Project, to attempt to create a truly pseudonymous/anonymous Internet, but unfortunately rampant abuse by child-porn rings and copyright infringers have given free-anonymous-speech efforts a bad rap. At this point, I doubt that it's possible to create a bastion of free speech without simultaneously creating an open bazaar for the marketing of various illegal forms of communication.

I wish there was a way to create a truly-text-only pseudonymous/anonymous network, thus preserving the ability of dissidents to publish information on, for instance, human-rights abuses by their country without fear of retribution. But people are clever, and given a text-only medium, will inevitably figure out encoding methods to transfer things other than plain-text at arbitrarily large sizes. Just look at Usenet :)
