1. YouTube Feather (beta)

The "Feather" project is intended to serve YouTube video watch pages with the lowest latency possible. So basically when you goto YouTube and select a video, it will load the page with minimum content. There will be only the search bar and the video. No ads, no suggested videos, no comments.

2. SmartVideo for YouTube

Have you noticed that when you pause a video on YouTube it also pauses loading the video. This can be pretty annoying if you have slow  internet and you are trying to let the video buffer before start playing the video so it doesnt stop half way. SmartVideo for YouTube is an add-on you can install to your chrome or firefox so it makes sure the video stays buffering even while the video is paused. It has some other handy features like setting up a preferred video quality, player size etc too.
  

Facebook traces every site you visit that has a like button on it EVEN IF YOU DON'T CLICK IT.

and EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT REGISTERED, Facebook will place a cookie (what is a cookie?) on your hard disk.(not only Facebook, almost all sites do but those sites do that only to remember your preferences in their site) These cookies on your hard disk stores every single site you visit with this damn button, if you visited the site just ONCE.

They have a full profile of your surfing behavior (you know that even porn sites have this button)

There's a simple solution for this:Install "Facebook Disconnect" add-on for your browser. This stops Facebook from tracking the webpages you go to.
Very easy! just goto this site (http://disconnect.me/) and click "install disconnect")


You'll get the warning that it accesses your data on every website. Thats because it has to inject Java into the site to prevent the "like Button" from working. The code of the addon is open source. It does not touch your privacy - you can learn more in the FAQ of the addon.


Bad news! This not only blocks facebook cookies, but also Google buttons and reCaptcha (that human verification thingy). So its kinda annoying (i mean very annoying). So the only practical solution is to use a different browser to access facebook (very very annoying i know). well thats the price you have to pay for stop being tracked. I feel like im running away from a murder already :/
