Bad news: 'Unblockable' web trackers emerge. Good news: Firefox with uBlock Origin can stop it. Chrome, not so much

If I was to go into a Tesco store, and whilst in they attached a GPS tracker to me so they could see where I go after I left the store, this would be probably deemed illegal and it would be stamped out in the courts very quickly. So why is it allowed to happen online? If I go to the Tesco website, no doubt trackers will be attached to me to follow me about the web. What's the difference between that and the real real world? We just need our government to grow a set and simply make it illegal to track us online.
