I thought you might be interested in this firefox add-on.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/requestpolicy/

RequestPolicy is an extension that improves the privacy and security of your
> browsing by giving you control over when cross-site requests are allowed by
> webpages you visit.
>
> Cross-site requests are requests that your browser is told to make by a
> website you are visiting to a completely different website. Though usually
> legitimate requests, they often result in advertising companies and other
> websites knowing your browsing habits, including specific pages you view
> throughout the day. Among the attacks that cross-site requests are used in,
> they are particularly dangerous with Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
> attacks where your browser is told to make a request to another website and
> that other website thinks you (the person) meant to make the request.
