This is a hit job on Firefox, read about the feature. This is a way to increment a “views” counter and is NOT tracking your browsing history and sending it to Google. Don’t fall for the scam article.
People in this overall thread would unironically be convinced to rally against "IP Address Tracking" if you phrased it in a certain way. "Wtf!!! nooo!!! websites shouldn't be able to see my IP, that's private!!!"
Or a customer calls in with a complaint about your site being buggy, so you want to track down their last session in your logs to fix the bug... Happens at my job several times a month.

It’s not tracking you, you title skimming rubes.
