A while back, my memory being very fuzzy, there was something that blocked the icons (and potential links???) to the likes of fb, twitter, g+ etc.

Well, it seems to no longer be working 'cos I'm finding them back, everywhere.

I don't know how effective it was in the great scheme of things but I'm really hacked off with the whole ruddy lot of all these nasty spyware, privacy intruding, unlawful, unregulated, out of control gits!

Anyone got any ideas that doesn't involve being a super-tech nerd?
