Hey, that's awesome! Your design reminds me of "hoodwink'd", which was "underground" in the sense that you had to edit your DNS settings for "hoodwink'd" to work. http://ecmanaut.blogspot.com/2006/01/hoodwinkd.html http://ecmanaut.blogspot.com/2006/01/hoodwinkd.html
Your site URL hashing system is also pretty close how Goggles works, only instead of notes, you get to draw MS paint-like scribbles. http://goggles.sneakygcr.net http://goggles.sneakygcr.net
Each website is uniquely keyed by a hash of the URL, so Goggles doesn't know the website's URL even if there is a hit. (It does send the page title to the server though because popular sites go on a leaderboard; i'm not so sure about that decision though since it can leak some privacy...)
Browsers are doing a much better job at protecting/restricting bookmarklets than extensions and I wish more of these kinds of notetaking apps/tricks use bookmarklets instead. For example, I just now discovered that Chrome will prevent Goggles from working on certain HTTPS sites like hacker news because it loads javascript from an http:// http:// URL, which is a great design decision from the Chrome team.
