Sheepish for Chrome Tracks and Blocks the Websites that Track You

I picked this up via Lifehacker.com. I haven't figured out yet why they call it Sheepish, but it seems to work as advertised. 
Have you ever wondered what advertising sites track your web browsing? Sheepish is an extension for Chrome that shows you exactly which companies are keeping an eye on you for every site you visit and blocks them from doing so.
Many of the reviews on the Sheepish site are from people who say they've uninstalled the add-on because of the pop-up window that describes the sites tracking and blocked every time a new window or tab opens. They found the pop-up very irritating, I've found it informational and I'm not bothered by it at all - at least not yet.
