Also, many (many, many many...) websites have some sort of facebook

I investigated a page/site a couple weeks ago, where a poster complained
about Facebook.
I found that each page of the site called up a facebook.com JavaScript
file -- of a quarter-megabyte worth of code.
Yes, Facebook is intrusive! Those "Like" buttons tell Facebook every
page you visit.
Yes, it's really disturbing - giving other hosters access to the IPs and
maybe referrers of your own visitors by linking static content from
other web sites was already considered interesting a few years ago.
Loading other people JS code, running that in your visitors browsers and
not really telling them... that was the point, when I installed NoScript..
What I find problematic is the number of pages that will fail if you
switch off JS.
Take a look at noscript
You have no option with these people;
A few have already been mentioned in this thread.
you either let them use you or
basically get off the net - since there will be little that you can do
on the net without these perverts peeping all the time.
With an attitude like that you clearly don't want to use their
services, so just block them.
It is not a case of not wanting to use services it is a case of not
wanting to be spied on all the time. Also; I don't use (for example)
FaceBook. But what happens when other sites are linking to FB or passing
info to FB and likewise Google Analytics.
I use several devices to avoid these perverts getting even more info
about me. Using Browzar; clearing cookies etc, regularly; blocking
almost all sites from using cookies etc., etc., etc.
Start off with something along the lines of
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt and add your own entries for
sites you don't want tracking you
I understand the basic idea. It looks similar to something in Linux. But
where do I put the hosts.txt file in Vista?
Requestpolicy + noscript does the job for me, but it is a bit of a
pain for the first week or three configuring what sites are allowed&
it's more for people that might want to allow some of that instead of
completely blocking it.
It is a pain in &^%&^& that we have to do this kind of thing to defend
ourselves against people who should be prying in the first place.
Thans for the info.
