Be aware that neowin.net has facebook . com and .net scripts to tell them you visited the site. It is not just this site. This is plague and has to be stopped.

Agreed. In the meantime, I'd suggest installing Privacy Badger [0]. It blocks those domains for me. In return I get an angry popup that claims that I'm using an "ad blocker", but it can be clicked away. (Privacy Badger is not strictly an ad-blocker. It does not care what is and what is not an ad. That it blocks ads on this site is simply an effect of those ads being used to track visitors)

Just use noscript and a separate browser for malicious sites like fb and ig. It might seem painfull at first, but you'll quickly end up with with a web that is better than before.
