Not gonna work for me. First thing I do after installing a browser is to install ghostery and disable all the social buttons.

Also, wouldn't you be exposing yourself to spam from all the sites you +1 ?

I could be wrong here, but I don't think you get inbound posts in your G+ stream (or email) from +1s, unlike FB "Likes" which give the owner the ability to post to your New Feed. On G+ you have to go and explicitly "Circle" a business / web site to see their posts.
