Also worth noting that Firefox users who prefer the idea of whitelisting cross-site requests rather than blacklisting them, can install RequestPolicy.

If you don't like the annoyance of RequestPolicy you can also use Ghostery (avail on FF, Opera, Safari) which blocks a specific blacklist of trackers.

Does anyone know the equivalent Chrome extension?

I am working on it here:

I will have a new version out at the end of this weekend

I think it is time to kill all third-party requests. If you want to show users an ad, host it from your own server.

Thanks! Remember to 'Show HN' when you hit beta / have it up on the chrome extensions site.

Thanks! The only reason I am still using Firefox instead of Chromium is the availability of RequestPolicy.

I have heard that a lot - which is why I want to get a release out asap

Don't burn out for asap. We'll still be here. :)
