ghostery

Which is owned and operated by Evidon... a tracking company. Who sell on
the data (apparently they only do this if you leave on the "ghostrank"
feature, which is of course enabled by default - and if you believe
that, well, you have bigger problems).

What you can do is swipe the ghostery block lists and run a script to
pipe them into for example Privoxy.

RequestPolicy + Noscript + AdblockPlus + HTTPS Everywhere + Self
Destructing Cookies and a healthy dose of Tor should do it for almost
everyone, although less skilled users will probably find their browser
almost unusable after installing that lot.

I use all that lot plus more, and frequently have to allow upwards of 5
or 10 cross site requests or javascript hosts before a page is even
readable but I can live with it.

Several different identities on different usercodes for different purposes all helps to leave false trails too. Being immune to advertising is a good one too!
