Ghostery if you're paranoid like me. Be sure to actually set it to block advertisers, I think as default it just lists who or what is tracking you. If the names are not greyed and crossed out then it is not blocking them.

Web dev here. Only been using this plugin for a short time but wanted to say that it's very effective at letting you know which sites are consuming information about you and whether you want to allow them to do that.

Ive used Ghostery for about a week and its amazing the number of outfits tracking you without you realizing it. Especially on sites that you wouldn't expect. Definitely recommend it!
