Remove Facebook like/recommend buttons

Is there any way to stop Facebooks and Googles like/recommend/1+ etc. button scripts on webpages from being run?

I understand those buttons are used to track people even when not logged in to Facebook/Google.

Add the following filters to content blocker.
*.fbcdn.net/connect.*
*plusone.js

I've added the lines to the blocklist and restarted Opera but the buttons are still active, like here.

The +1 button disappeared but the FB one is still there. Although in my case it says "Gilla" (that's Swedish for "Like").

I discovered that the Ghostery extension will take care of these and many more.
