I use the Ghostery plugin with Firefox at home and work to control "3PES" as they call them. Between that, NoScript, and Request Policy, I feel relatively secure. Of course, if I want to see web-pages the way the authors intended, I have to do a lot of NoScript and Request Policy exceptions. Some sites just get lumped into untrusted under NoScript - the first time I see a web-page wanting to run a script from an unfamiliar site, I do a quick search. If the new site touts ads, social media, tracking, SEO, or most of the other current web stuff, I ban it. For the most part, once I have things set up the sites I usually visit come up relatively clean.
