Prevents Google from tracking your searches.

Description from store

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.

Stopped working recently now Big Bad Google will redirect your search to a cookie settings page so there goes any hope for privacy.

So far it's working great, letting me search google without an account but not signing me out of other google sites. also I haven't encountered captcha or agreeing the google terms pop-up. Will update my rating if anything changes...

Web Dev here: Only a few lines of code it seems (peeked at the code). Also, if you do a before and after, you can see that cookies are no longer sent on google requests :).

good, does what expected. To all who thinks about how to check whether it works: - open google.com - login to google (top on the right) - refresh google.com - you are logged in (top on the right you'll see you avatar) - fill any search query into google.com and enter - you get SERP and on top on the right you'll see the login button "login" - you are logged out, - open google.com in another tab - you are logged in
