Doesn’t the Firefox addon “Ghostery” do pretty much the same thing?

I use Ghostery, DoNotTrackMe, BetterPrivacy, NoScript — there is some overlap but no single one is adequate (also, many functions beyond blocking tracking).

Yes. Don't browse a web page without it. How do I benefit from having a Google Analytics cookie on a webpage? Out it goes! And some web sites have a couple dozen similar trackers.

Being tracked across multiple websites by the same ad servers is like having the NSA rifle through my mail and pick out which junk mail I should read first based on my phone records.

Ghostery works in Opera, too.
