If you're unhappy about websites that pass your details on to
advertizers and you don't want to have to trust that all those sites out
there have correctly implemented 'Do Not Track' then I heartily
recommend the RequestPolicy plugin for FireFox. The downside is that the
first time you go to a new site, you'll have to set which sites you
allow the site your visiting to cross-site too, but that can be quite an
eye-opener in itself. (Works well with NoScript too.)
Cheers,
Matthew
