What are some egregious servers?

Can I have a peek at your /etc/hosts

I have flashblock, adblock with the antisocial filter. Still I see the damn twitter buttons. Is there a way to remove them and g+?

How do I prevent google from tracking me?

I use this on my Iphone: http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/

To prevent those annoying widget buttons, use NoScript or Ghostery. Of course NoScript's white list method is more secure but I like Ghostery's blacklist approach more. It's tiresome to have to constantly click on NoScript to allow Javascript running

Ghostery.
