Also worth noting that Firefox users who prefer the idea of whitelisting cross-site requests rather than blacklisting them, can install RequestPolicy.
If you don't like the annoyance of RequestPolicy you can also use Ghostery (avail on FF, Opera, Safari) which blocks a specific blacklist of trackers.
Does anyone know the equivalent Chrome extension?
