Hi Ylap,
Good creative thinking, could be if the coder tried to find a general expression for these three undesirables, it might even work there (from our point of view, as you see what I mean, not from the point of the trackers and profilers).
Tried to combine the Anonymization proxy toolbar with httProxy add-on (the first comes as a toolbar), and Switch Proxy. Not bad, my friend, not bad at all.
The difficulty with these webbugs (it is a pity that Bugnosis was never brought out for Firefox or Flock as an extension, why has no-one ever try to think of porting it outside the IE 5 and upwards for the Mozilla typed browser?) is that they try some 20 ways to connect (embedded, third party cookies, etc.etc.). Then there is a javascript like urchin.js (Google for instance has it) that gets out in a way it was not intended for javascript by the developers (there is some info on the workings on the Net, but not a lot of people to explain to the full what it does combined with http, but it is very helpful in building up your personal clickstream. Yahoo at the Flock startpage also has urchin.js. and there are more of these javascripts that profile the searcher etc.
When you have script installed they can read what extensions you have in FF in what versions, geolocation, and what have ye. The only chance you have is working Torpark with NoScript and Privoxy, but then your ISP know all your ins and outs before and after firing up Torpark. It is a bit better when you surf from a USB stick with for instance PocketFlock where all your browsing data are cleared on closing up the browser or you use Stealther and Distrust while using the browser.
But I think we need some general expressions to circumvent the nasty and hidden tracking code, because the Internet is like the Sea, ever changing and evolving, when you block one ‘rotter’ a dozen others have been opened up.
