What do you think of Facebook framing (aka hijacking) other websites when you leave their domain?

It has happened a couple of times that I clicked a link on facebook, went to a framed page, saw an interesting link on the framed page, clicked through, and felt a need to send that page to friends, or bookmark it. Annoyingly enough, the address bar is still being occupied by some Facebook URL. Now, if I close the Facebook frame with the button in the top right corner, it does not even preserve that I browsed onwards from the link, but instead it goes back to the page that was originally linked from Facebook.
Stealing the address bar is a bad enough offense on it's own, but breaking browsing habits like this is showing contempt for your users in my book.

There is no reason to start a flame war over something that is actually beneficial for users.

Gut reaction, it bugs the dickens out of me. I like things oversimplified - if I click a link, I go to that link. Not a "Facebook presents" version of that link.
But ...
Does it really disrupt the stat-tracking? I mean, those people are going to show up as entering your site from Facebook, anyways. Subsequent links in the click-chain would suffer, but are people going to just cruise around with an open Facebook bar at the top of the screen?

If people are using it for promotion (as some would be) I think it works as it gives the option to share it with their friends extending the reach!

In 1996, the same expert, Jakob Nielsen, wrote that "Frames Suck" (most of the time). Again, this is not a design convention which has become more acceptable over time. In the 13 years since that was written, the use of framing on websites has nearly disappeared (thankfully):

The fact that FB is such a large site/publisher does not make it's breaking of conventions acceptable. Therefore, by some very long standing user interface conventions which have been documented by a useability expert, Jakob Nielsen, FaceBook absolutely has done something "improper" in framing other websites.
Jakob Nielsen wrote a book, called Designing Web Usability, which has 233 reviews on Amazon, and an average review of four stars (108 of them are 5 star reviews). Therefore, it can be said that Jakob Niesen is a qualified expert on web usability.
