[BC] Blocking trackers

For Windows OS users,

How this works: Google Analytics downloads a small javascript urchin.js
(Google Analytics Urchin Module) on the client's computer which reports
the all the tracking and analyzing data about the visitor back to
Google. By adding the above line, we have effectively blocked our
browser from downloading the urchin.js file.

If you don't like changing the the hosts file manually, download a free
Hosts File Manager utility to manage the hosts file for you.

If you are using Firefox, CustomizeGoogle extension lets you block all
Google Analytics cookies, on any website. Using this feature makes you
more anonymous. But your visit on a single webpage can still be logged.
This way, both Google and the owner of the website knows that someone
visited a webpage, but it's difficult to track all pages you're
visiting.
