It is a very bad idea to open more links in a browser instance than
you absolutely have to - one thing that you may not realise is that
any site that you link to potentially has access to much of the data
you communicate to or obtain from the others. I haven't worked in
that cess pool for a couple of decades, but I know that it is merely
different in detail and none of the original design faults have been
corrected. I recommend that you kill and restart your browser
frequently, and never access a 'privileged' site (e.g. one where you
are ordering things) in the same session as more general browsing.

And, for geeks, running your browser in its own virtual machine or
chroot ghetto is well worth the effort!
