Is Searchonymous safe?
This extension blocks Google tracking cookies from being sent with Google searches.
It makes Google Search appear as if you are signed out during searches, while you remain signed in to other Google services such as YouTube or Gmail. By default it also blocks the Google search preferences cookie, so search setting changes are discarded unless you allow that cookie in the add-on settings. The description notes that it does not address other tracking methods such as IP address or browser fingerprinting.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Searchonymous contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
