No Script + RequestPolicy + AdBlock ftw.

This combo makes your browsing a little frustrating, but very educational. Try it, even for a day and be amazed at how many sites load content and scripts from 8, 10, or more unrelated domains.

I gave up trying to keep an up-to-date host file for all the web beacon/scam urls. I just vet requests now as they occur. You wanna believe it has changed my surfing habits.
