This is why I stay logged out of facebook and don't allow third party cookies. Trying to move off of gmail also so I am not always logged in there either. Probably not perfect but hopefully it foils a lot of attempts at tracking.

Install AdBlock, Disconnect, uninstall Flash and Java, and use a JavaScript blocker and you'll make a good dent in a website's ability to track you.

And make a good dent in your ability to browse websites.

Are you speaking from experience or out of thin air? Because that is not my experience.

I block all scripts globally, flash heavy sites do not load and I consider that a 'feature'. Frankly, surfing the web without NoScript & AdBlock is an experience I do not want and have learned to do without. IF I need drivers or need access or ecommerce I'll allow the main site to run temporarily in Sandboxie or use tools/alt approaches to get the data without 7 or 8 ad servers running. The false promise of the internet is easily eschewed when you take a pragmatic approach to it.

Also: I was looking for something on mainstream retailer sites and was amazed at the list of servers. How many TargetImg servers does it take to load a product page? Answer: At least four, plus all the other tracking/ad loading detritus. Just wow.

You re-enable JS on the sites that you visit often and I've never had an issue.
