If you want to search Google
anonymously so that details of the sites you visit aren’t tracked arid stored,
you usually have to sign out of your Google account. However, this prevents you
from using other Google services such as Gmail, Drive and Calendar, unless you
log back In.
The new Firefox add-on Searchonymous solves
this problem by letting you search Google anonymously while remaining logged
into all other Google services. It works by blocking certain cookies and
generating random ones to stop Google tracking you, while allowing cookies that
contain your search preferences. Another benefit is that you won’t see the
adverts and clutter that usually appear on the Google homepage when cookies are
disabled.
