5. Ghostery – Detect software that websites use to track your behavior

Ghostery results for Mashable

In this case, Mashable uses Google Analytics, Compete and so on to track the pages you visit on Mashable, how long you stay and so on. If you want, you can easily disable this JavaScript code for that specific tracking software. If you don’t like blocking JavaScript entirely (with plugins like NoScript) then this is a perfect alternative.
