Regrettably nothing to do with "social networks". Every site you visit 
has something there which may/probably will impinge on your privacy. You 
will see for yourself what I mean if you installed the extensions I 
mentioned.

One thing which Firefox 5 now has is an option which tells the URL you 
go to that you do not want to be tracked. Now, how effective this is I 
don't know but one of the extensions I have had installed for zonks 
doesn't adivise the URL it just simply kills off any tracker(s).

Quite a number of people to whom I mentioned these extensions simply 
come back with, "I've got nothing to hide." Neither do I but I still 
don't like providing unsolicited information to parasites like google 
who then sell the gathered information to make a buck.
