Firefox and Safari have features like this. Don't know about Chrome, but it's likely that Chrome blocks other peoples tracking in favor of Google's.

If you think of 1994 as late 1990s, sure.

Cookies have been around almost as long as the web proper, and vilified for about the same amount of time.
