For those of you that frequent Facebook (or any of a bajillion other sites)
How to stop Facebook from using your browser history (via Digital Trends)
For those that just want the link to opt-out and not the article: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/
Not sure if this actually *works*, but I know that according to the site, I had 27 ad companies using my browser history...
MilesAhead:
With all the FF AddOns I don't see a History "backup and delete" then restore later. Not that all the sites don't peek anyway. :)
Renegade:
Since when can sites read browser histories? :o

As far as I'm aware, the most useful information is ".length", and you can only ".go(-3)", but not ".getUrl(-3)" or anything like that. But "go()" isn't useful for knowing history.
Or is this all just compiled from ad company cookies/data?
