How can I block tracking from ads and analytics across the web?

At USMLE Gunner we think privacy is important. Because tracking from advertising networks, social networks, and internet companies is so ubiquitous, we suggest using tools like Blur or Disconnect in your browsers. We recommend using track-blocking tools and the links above to opt-out of interest based ads and to curtail tracking online.
