   Maybe.. but that situation would assume that the Tracking is done by   
   the Browser and not by the Web Site you just visited. As I understood   
   it (?) when you went to a web page, every page you visited after that   
   was reported back to that web site. The reason for this is not always   
   evil, it is often just a way of seeing what you are interested in so   
   they can send you ads for things you will more likely go for.   
      
   AT>Adware, on the other hand, used to hijack browsers rampantly (e.g. "You're

   I think most of what is blocked are ads that pop up on your screen while   
   you are on that web page. They hate them being blocked because that's   
   how they pay for most 'free' services web sites offer.   
      
   AT>So it sounds like Opera might be a good choice for averting adware.   
      
   As I said, I've used it since Windows 95 probably and it's gotten   
   better over the years as far as I can tell. It is open source though   
   which means you are relying on the integrity of developers who are   
   possibly changing all the time.
