searchonymous's Introduction

Searchonymous

Build Status

Searchonymous helps to keep your Google searches private: When installed no tracking cookies are sent to Google while searching. That way Google will not be able to connect searches with your account or create a search history. Also you will not receive customized search results.

When the add-on is active it seems to Google that are logged out of your Google account during searches (see the the "Sign in" button at the top right). However you stay logged in on other Google services such as Youtube or Gmail.

If you want to change your Google search settings, make sure to allow the "Search Preferences Cookie" in the add-on settings. By default the preferences-cookie will be blocked which effectively discards any changes to your search settings.

Please note that there are other means of tracking this add-on can't protect you against, such as using your IP address or browser fingerprint.

searchonymous's Issues

Google Voice will not load

Using Searchonymous v1.0.1
Firefox 28 beta 4

Works beautifully until I try to load the Google Voice page (https://www.google.com/voice), which returns this message:

The page isn't redirecting properly.

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Sync with latest version

Hey!

On addons.mozilla.org, the extension is updated recently, versioned as 1.0.6 and compatible with Firefox 57. Would it be possible to update this repository?

Thanks!

Disables access to Google Voice

With Searchonymous active, when I try to access Google Voice, I get this message: "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." Google Voice is an essential app for me. If Searchonymous won't work with GV, I can't use it.

Google keeps reloading on OSX

With Firefox (28 beta) on OSX, Searchonymous keeps reloading the page with search results, right after a search has been done.
This was the case both with 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.

https://encrypted.google.com does not display 'anonym'

Hi,

great add-on, even though I haven't any means to verify if it works.

When I hit enter from the search bar using Google search engine, I can see the ANONYM logo.
I use HTTP Everywhere, and I get redirected to the secure page without problem, with ANONYM being displayed.

But if I input google.com in the URL bar, I get redirected to https://encrypted.google.com/ and then no trace of the ANONYM. Is the addon still active in this case?
Same if I input directly https://encrypted.google.com/ in the URL tab.

It'd be nice to have a feedback when cookie get blocked, so that end-user can "see" the addon in action. That'd also be easier to know if addon is active when on https://encrypted.google.com/ for instance

Google image, loop cookie request

When this extension is enable and I click on "images" in the google results, I'm prompted with the classic Google cookie message that I can reject or accept. No matter if I accept or reject, as soon as I click one of the two buttons, I'm redirected to the same page over and over. To bypass this I need to open the image section into an private window (Firefox).
As soon as I disable this extension, the problem goes away.

On Off Button

As noticed in the comments on the addon page, an On Off Button would be convenient in case google needs to know the user's settings.

Cannot add contact to Circles

With Searchonymous 1.0 active, I cannot add a Google contact to a Google+ circle (when editing the contact, there is a hover button 'add and invite'). When hovering over it, I get a message telling me that my session has expired and I need to login again.

I am logged into G+, this problem goes away when disabling Searchonymous (which is more a workaround than a fix).

Google contacts URL is www.google.com/contacts/u/0/?hl=nl&tab=mC#contact/

When hovering, a request is loaded from https://plus.google.com/u/0/_/socialgraph/circlepicker/menu?hl=nl&oo=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&eemail=&as=cm2-standalone.details&sts=1392109358534&gsrc=1p&tpbm=false&jsh=m%3B%2F_%2Fscs%2Fabc-static%2F_%2Fjs%2Fk%3Dgapi.gapi.en<etc.>

youtube

Anonymous viewing on youtube, please. Thank you.

Firefox WebExtensions

Is the Firefox version a WebExtension? Extensions using the addons SDK will stop working by the end of the year. I'm sure that the Chrome version can me manipulated to work with both browsers. Will any functionality be lost?

Stopped working

Searchonymous has stopped working just now. I tried a reinstall, but to no avail. Once logged in anywhere with Google I am also logged in on the search page. Maybe others can confirm, my hypothesis is that Google just changed their session cookie.
