I heard of that plugin for Firefox before and am trying it out. I usually don't click on any social media buttons on any site but the social media sites themselves though

Doesn't matter whether you click them or not. Whenever you visit the page, your browser will load the like button from the Facebook servers so that it can display it to you, and Facebook can derive what page you're visiting from that request.

Ghostery does the same thing. I have all 3, Ghostery, AdBlockPlus, and Privacy Badger.

Ghostery opts you in to "GhostRank" by default, which sells your information to advertisers.

Did not know that. But I always disable it anyways.
