I use a few plugins to handle this, check out:

With ad block it cleans pages up like you wouldn't believe. Many sites actually become readable :O

What does Facebook Blocker do that Ghostery (combined with AdBlock Plus) doesn't? Are these redundant extensions?
Ghostery is a general tracker blocker. FBB only blocks, as the name implies, Facebook related stuff - at least that's what I infer from a quick skim through the description.

So, if you only want Facebook gone, by all means use FBB. If you don't want trackers in general (Google Analytics etc), use Ghostery.

What about an add-on designed with the only purpose of implementing this 2-Click solution?

Probably, I just had a look what I was currently running and noted them down. Could probably do with uninstalling it ;)
