@jkiller - have you been living under a rock or what? How long as Adblock Plus been around? It's as old as Tyrannosaurus Rex! Not only that, but are you aware it's also available for Chrome-based browsers as well as for Opera? I'm not too sure about IE.

If you want to put the brakes on tracking, get Ghostery or Disconnect. I know Ghostery is available for other browsers, but I don't know about Disconnect. There are also many other security and privacy-based addons available.
