The most effective way to stop Phorm affecting any aspect of your web traffic (including stuff you read in Outlook, OpenOffice, Instant Messenger apps too btw) is simply to drop your ISP like a brick.

I wrote an add on for Firefox that forces your 'opt out' preference, but its pretty ineffective as a privacy & security measure, because you are effectively at the mercy of a company with a history of writing spyware and rootkits.

So, feeling lucky?
