Does this mean that I'll have to unblock DoubleClick when I use Google?

Apart from following Epaminondas' good advice there is another tweak that can be used if you are using Firefox.  If you "need" to use Google's "services" install the CustomizeGoogle extension.  This allows you to Remove Click Tracking, Anonymize the Google Cookie UID and prevent cookies being sent to Google Analytics.

Gads. I'm about to reinstall FF (way too many crashes), and I guess I'll take time to really customize it.
