I have been using customize google for a while, and its great. I just added your script and I am an instant fan. Are you aware of any conflicts, because I have customize google set to do as many privacy features as I can including anonymizing the google UID cooking and blocking any analytics cookies. Do you know of any conflicts between these two?

Also, when I do the )javascript:alert(google) it brings a popup saying "[object Object]", I am not sure if that means there is a problem.

That would mean that either googlePrivacy hasn't loaded properly or that
Customize Google has reset the google variable for it's own use.
I don't know how Customize Google works so I don't know which is the case.
For starters, make sure that when you right-click on the GM icon on a google search
page that you can see the googlePrivacy script loaded.
If it's not then there is something wrong with the URL matching strings.
Otherwise, it is a conflict and I'll have to take a look at the Customize Google source
to sort it out.

Thanks for responding. I turned off customize google and used only googlePrivacy for a while. I did that test several times and everything was cool. I kept the adblock window docked as I searched on google. Eventually two things began appearing in addition to the three blockable elements that are seen while using google with googlePrivacy. First, this appeared "h**p://id.google.com/verify/*.gif". I blocked that. Next a really strange IPv6 connection was created by google. I turned off IPv6 support in firefox very quickly so I don't have the url of the request for you.

Long story short, I turned back on customize google for its other features, and it is coexists fine with googlePrivacy no problem. I haven't seen those nefarious links appear again, and I would probably just chalk it up to the mighty google doing everything in its power to stop you from stopping it.

Again thanks, great script.
