You would violate terms of agreement. But if it's a Chrome extension, what can they do?

Not a violation.

Does everyone realize google tops Facebook by millions for cross site tracking? I mean ad scripts, stats scripts, +1 scripts, etc. etc. etc.

Good luck on blocking google, I cannot even turn off javascript for their domain because now their search requires it to function.

Yes, that is a very important point, precisely because people do not want to focus their attention upon it.

Google has gone from a company that does not do any "evil" to a company that tries to make a progressive / positive impact and therefore they feel entitled to collecting more information about their users than they ever thought they would need at the beginning.

In that sense Google is like the government in the original Austrian economics. From utility to expansive progressive force. But with what results this time?

Edit: this reminds me off the "Faceback" app from the movie Good Guys.

For Firefox users, may I recommend ShareMeNot (http://sharemenot.cs.washington.edu/). It also nukes the tracking behavior of Twitter, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon, Digg, and Google +1.

Or, if you are an Adblock Plus user and want to kill Facebook on non-Facebook sites, add the following rule:

  ||facebook.*$domain=~facebook.com|~127.0.0.1

Block all social garbage with adblockplus.

Great Idea. Hoping for a Safari extension soon.

Better to have posted it after you've actually written it...

MVP. Sorry to disappoint :p

MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product. There has to actually be something for it to be a Product.

The Disconnect extension for Chrome is pretty good for that:
