Based on what I can figure out about tracking, websites are storing cookies in our browsers, and then when we go to another website, the latter website
is making logical decisions about us based on the cookies from the
websites we previously visited. That can be averted by deleting cookies.

Adware, on the other hand, used to hijack browsers rampantly (e.g. "You're pc is infected!") But now days I'm assuming that adware is less conspicuous, and instead of trying to elicit a response from victims, it's probably just spying on us silently instead.

So it sounds like Opera might be a good choice for averting adware.
