Comment on Facebook doesn't like privacy countermeasures

Comments

I was surprised to find out that Facebook tracks not only what 'like' buttons you have been clicking but also where you have been browsing. Is there a privacy browser extension?

For Firefox, RequestPolicy adds a whitelist for requests to third-party websites. It's a hassle to set up, but it works. I don't know if an equivalent exists for Chrome.

Disconnect for Chrome is great, but it only blocks a limited number of social sites.
