I was not really sure where I should put this so if a mod thinks this does not belong here, please move it to the appropriate place, thanks.

The other day when I was browsing through a thread on Neowin, (The one where people whinge about the site being slow) one of the posters suggested that people use Collusion to prevent sites tracking your browsing habits and this is what I found and for me, it is rather an eye opener!

It's unavoidable. The majority of those sources are likely embedded images hosted on 3rd party servers. A simple add-on like Ghostery and something to block referrers will do much to boost your privacy online.
