TrackMeNot

That's actually a pretty good idea - you've basically reinvented privacy through obfuscation. There are a couple browser extensions that do exactly that, mainly AdNauseam which is a modified version of uBlock Origin that clicks on every ad it blocks to confuse ad profilers, and TrackMeNot, which just searches google for random stuff, constantly, I imagine to convince google that you are some sort of maniac (and hide your actual searches).
