Are you thinking of Google's "analytics opt-out" addon? And yeah, I suspect there are ways to get some genuine client-side protection against third-party tracking (by shutting down ipc between origins, be it through cookies or whatever — a page accessing another origin's cookies through an iframe would either block or get cookies namespaced by the outer origin).

The Ghostery add-on for Firefox and Chrome is an effective client-side "tracker blocker."
