You should be running Ghostery and NoScript/ScriptSafe with JS turned off be default. It's your Internet condom from viruses and advertisers. Like a condom, not 100% effective but you shouldn't concern yourself with edge cases. People can still track you many other ways, but the point is right now they DON'T, so this will keep you pretty safe from this for now. I have any and all domains owned by Facebook and any other social networks I don't use blocked at the router.
Obviously, in reading the article, the primary problem here is that he's a Facebook user, so no amount of protection would help. You can't really use Facebook safely.
