Extension:Shariff

The Shariff extension allows for 1-click "Like" buttons that do not share user-information using Shariff, thus protecting users privacy.

Give Social Media Buttons Some Privacy
Shariff enables website users to share their favorite content without compromising their privacy. Demo.

Facebook, Google+ and Twitter supply official sharing code snippets which quietly siphon personal data from all page visitors. Shariff enables visitors to see how popular your page is on Facebook and share your content with others without needless data leaks.

Shariff  is an open-source, low-maintenance, high-privacy solution maintained by German computer magazine c't and heise online.

Shariff consists of two parts: a simple JavaScript client library and an optional server-side component. The latter fetches the number of likes, tweets and plus-ones. Share buttons and share counts work without a connection between your visitors' browsers and social networks (unless they decide to share, of course).
