It's in the FF settings under preferences in FF4+

Nice. If firefox wasn't such a slow piece of shit and a resource hog, then....

Sounds like an interesting concept. I was reading some of the reviews on this add-on and this guy makes a good point. I sure wouldn't want TrackMeNot to submit a search query for CP because of a news story on CNN and then have it randomly click on a search result.

I removed this after a day's use. When one uses a search engine s/he may be revealing a few embarrassing tidbits, but this thing makes searches for any number of potentially damning phrases and then goes on to click one of the results returned!

Why would you want search engine(s) to have profile data of you that wasn't true? That's even WORSE than them having the profile information... Pretty dumb add-on imo.

Disturbing!!!
