While I am able to switch to another browser (I already did a long time ago), I don't believe I can avoid visiting sites "that show ads from Google". How much can Google collect from those sites?

Firefox has a “tracking protection” setting which blocks these types of third party trackers.

  Which is default-enabled in Private Browsing, and you can enable it for normal browsing as well by setting "privacy.trackingprotection.enabled" in about:config to true. A GUI-toggle for this should make it into Stable in the next few releases...

The simple setting, most seem to be overlooking, is don't allow third party cookies. Voila.
