Mozilla Collusion
Let us shift gears slightly and discuss where you are at, where you are going, where you think you are...
Collusion is a wonderful little add-on for your browser, available for FireFox and Chrome. It give you a visual display of what sites interact with each other. So you go to mail.yahoo.com and you think you are only sharing data with Yahoo. Think again.
While Collusion in FireFox will only show you where you are going. Collusion in Chrome will also block access to known tracking sites.
See the Ted Talk describing Collusion.
Use Collusion to get a better idea of where your information is going. Learn to control your data and opt-out of the tracking services that you can legitimately opt-out of. Learn to prevent the tracking and data sharing that you cannot opt-out of.
Another fine tracking blocker is Ghostery
Ghostery currently blocks over 1550 elements, with new elements being added frequently.
