Browser add-ons like Ghostery block things
like "Facebook Connect."

For giggles I installed Ghostery FF add-on this morning out of
curiosity. I'm impressed. Opt-in and allow the purple bubble that
shows what trackers were blocked from tracking you.

It's amazing just how many different trackers one web site can have!

Yes. It's about money. I was aware of all the data mining and
targeting. I tried another FF add on, but was not satisfied. Ghostery
seems a better solution for blocking them. I like it, even though I
only installed it this morning
