Its amusing how quickly people seem to have forgotten about Beacon - seems like we've set ourselves up for another privacy disaster of similar scale - or perhaps worse.

Who's forgotten about it?

I adblock at the request level everything from the facebook or fbcdn domains in my primary browser. I don't let FB get anything from my normal browsing.

Make sure you get both the .com and the .net varieties of those domains.

Adblock plus, most likely, coupled with Antisocial filter and custom rules.

It sounded more like RequestPolicy than ABP, but there's nothing stopping you from using both, which is what I do.

What's so special about beacon ? It's no more business as usual at facebook, with the additional twist that it caused public uproar.
