The "EasyPrivacy" block list for AdBlock Plus (for Firefox) is pretty good - all the lists are here http://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions One particularly good tool for blocking tracking by Google Analytics et al when visiting other sites is to use an ad-blocker plugin with an anti-tracking block list.

I was having this same conversation with a friend the other day, thinking how many innovations we are missing just because we are "forced" to comply to Google's guidelines.
