Sites that use Facebook Connect to integrate with Facebook "allow apps to be added to user profiles without notification being given to the user."
"These apps are not visible to friends on the user's profile page but users are able to view friends who also have the app installed on the app's profile page. In a way allowing users to see others somewhat vague browsing history provided the websites they visit have Facebook integration."
FIX: "if you add static.ak.connect.facebook.com to your Windows hosts file (or some other blocklist) then it won't add these applications."
This site uses Facebook Connect. To my knowledge, it only enables the user (already logged in to Facebook) to visit this site without having to login again.
