I’ve recently installed the browser plugin Disconnect to keep Facebook, Twitter and Google from recording my browser history as I use the regular web while still letting me use those services when I choose to.
Can anyone explain how Disconnect works?
I’m interested in how it works to understand where my web experience might be changed or compromised and as an intellectual curiosity about what these sites are doing and how it can be blocked.
There are detailed descriptions of what our extensions do in the extension galleries (and someday soon, our site), e.g.:

More technically, all our extension code is open source (and well commented and otherwise readable, if I do say so myself):
