I use Ghostery

Same here. I've gotten into the habit of checking the list of trackers of every site I visit for the first time.

And Ghostery kills not just trackers, but widgets, advertising bots, and all sorts of little nasties.

I also noticed on some sites, those that were cookie heavy ,the site loads faster and smoother now that the cookies are gone.
