To minimise the tracking without plugins: always login to facebook and anything that has your personal details in a "private" session or a browser you don't normally use with flash turned off (or not installed in the first place). Not perfect, but good enough for me.
Of course everyone in my other browser sessions is tracking me between sites, but it isn't linked to my social profiles and such.
TBH I don't really care about the tracking of me. The thing that I find annoys is the combined tracking of me and my contacts: I don't like the idea of them trying to track other people through me.
This is a very shallow way of "escaping"; your browsing activity is definitely being linked to your social media identities via your IP(s) and browser fingerprint.
For instance Google does maintain such non-cookie-based user identities. I'd be highly surprised if Facebook didn't as well; your data is just too valuable to pass on such easy fixes.
The browser fingerprint isn't going to help them though.
Of course the only real solution (other than cutting yourself off completely) is for there to be a stable, secure, reliable, non-tracked, ad-free alternative that enough people use - and that isn't going to happen unless you have a spare high improbability generator handy.
I sandbox Facebook inside Firefox, its the only thing I do with that browser. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy for continuing to use the browser too, I like Mozilla.
