If you use Chrome and enable Google's Data Compression Proxy, all http traffic is proxied via Google's servers and sent to them via spdy (which is encrypted), so Verizon can't tamper with the requests or see what they are:

So you trade Verizon's tracking for Google's?

At the very least, it would only be Google that could track you, instead of every website you visit being able to read your Verizon-assigned ID.

What about DNS queries?

They're not http so would guess they don't go through the proxy.
