   Yes, they do tend to push it that way but it saves them a huge amount   
   of time and money by doing it electronically.

   Opera first came out in 1995 and I've probably used it since then.   
      
   I'm not really sure how the browser sees Trackers although I suppose   
   it has to latch onto the Browser so there may just be a better reset   
   done when a site is exited. Adware is probably easier for it to catch   
   since it has to display through the browser, but I do get a Lot of   
   sites complaining that they can't send me ads because they are being   
   blocked and asking me to turn that off, so I know that works pretty well..
