I'm a fan of WidgetBlock, a chrome extension that simply blocks all major offsite social networking widgets, whether its facebook like buttons, tweet this buttons, the facebook connect thing, etc. It's stated reason for doing this is to improve page load times, which it certainly does, but it does just as well to protect your privacy. https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/hgiihiookhijpbhaflohognbhmamdnol https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/hgiihiookhijpbha... EDIT: It appears to work nicely in tandem with this ghostery thing.
