Not to knock your efforts, but this looks like a naive and wasteful approach to privacy. It seems like it would be pretty easy to separate the needle from the haystack when dealing fake searches (are any links clicked from fake searches? are cookies used? javascript? useragents? what about google's realtime search? are you searching for nonsense terms?).
Also I'm not confident this thing isn't going to randomly pick embarrassing search terms.
- norova 16y agoThis is why I shared it. In the unlikely event that someone find it the least bit useful, they might want to expand on what already exists (which admittedly isn't much) and improve it. All of your points make complete sense, and as I've said in the github notes, the project was just something I cooked up quickly a few years ago. Small ideas can grow into big things; figured it was worth the bandwidth to publish.
