preferable separated out, so i can use one on each browser and stop them from collating my privacy

That would be messy and somewhat unneeded. Why not block all trackers regardless who serves it?

because I see, these 2 sites, as the largest collators of information, and hence possibly the lynchpins of collation of cookies, i don't think i said regardless, i am just looking to mitigate facebooks algorithms from source information at best possible.

Blocking either service will hinder the site,

Blocking google will stop website signins/login's, 3rd party javascript/fonts and comments
Blocking facebook will stop signins/logins and facebook comments.

Blocking Google entirely will break everything fanboy mentioned and much more, as they also host various commonly used JS APIs (e.g. jquery)... It's not really feasible to totally block Google with a subscription list / ad blocker.


Blocking Facebook entirely is very doable and won't break much of anything non-Facebook. I doubt you'd care about that breakage though.
fanboy already makes an "Anti-Facebook List" that will get you a good part of the way to this goal: https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/fanboy-antifacebook.txt; but as it only blocks Facebook domains, you'll need to add some custom filters blocking other common "3rd parties" owned by Facebook (e.g. instagram) for better completeness.

i don't mean blocking google on the main list, but on a sub-list, i'm sure it would only block people who use google+ and fb accounts as login to sites that support it.

i do block all trackers with noscript and then opt-in, however I am not aware who owns what or who shares what with whom, and maybe it is too much work to sort that out, though, things like disconnect try......

i'm looking at it more and opt all fb in /out ; then if the pages don't load , just won't use those pages


.......what kind of "custom filters"

NoScript is a security tool, not a privacy tool - and most of these trackers have scriptless alternatives (e.g. 1x1 GIFs), which of course NoScript won't affect. If you're not using an anti-tracking adblock list (such as EasyPrivacy) you have been working with a false sense of privacy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_m ... y_Facebook
see also has links to other intersting companies

then you need to find all domains for each company

maybe looking by certificate might also help
