So if this concerns you (it should), I would say the best way to foil these is to use [dynamic filtering](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering). Here are the rules, which will block all these 3rd-parties, except when used as 1st-party:
* facebook.com * block
* facebook.net * block
* googletagservices.com * block
* taboola.com * block
* twitter.com * block
facebook.com facebook.com * noop
facebook.com facebook.net * noop
twitter.com twitter.com * noop
With these few dynamic filtering rules, you would lower the _"distinct 1st-party/3rd-party pairs"_ figure for µBlock to 329 (from 491). As a bonus, pages will load markedly faster.

Any of the blocked domains above can easily be unblocked for a specific site. For example, if ever you want Twitter widgets to work when visiting AnandTech, just set `twitter.com` to a local _noop_ for that site, a mere point-and-click when using the dynamic filtering matrix.
