First off, great idea and much needed. Running windows web server 2008, firefox 3.0.4. Installed script, ran some searches, examined google search history and saw that my scripts were being logged. I am available for assistance. |

This is normal if you are logged in the Google's network. With GM it is not possible to remove cookies from http requests. This is due to the concept and implementation of Javascript. When you are logged in the Google's network you have an authentication cookie that will be sent with each requests to any Google's page. So as long as you are logged in the Google's network, it knows everything what are you doing on its pages. Logically you can't be authenticated and anonymized at the same time. |

I'm missing something here. I thought the whole point of the script was to anonymize google searches whilst eliminating the need to log out... Do you happen to know if there is a way with a firefox plugin to eliminate specific cookies? I know that plugins give you lower level access than greasemonkey... |

To anonymize you search request, you need to remove all cookies from the http request. Only an add-on as such privileges, at least I think that it could have them.

Thanks for the great work. I understand that by mechanism, it couldn't work if one logs in. I was wondering if you could write an extension to solve this issue then. I don't like the idea of using third-party forwards to solve this issue: if I don't trust Google enough, how am I supposed to trust these third parties? Thanks! |
