[privacy] sandbox cookies for different google sites

ill — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:07:09 -0000

The ability to be on a different user account to different google owned sites, defeating their attempt to link information about you into one database. So you could be logged in as a certain user at mail.google.com, and then as a different user to youtube.com and not have that account linked to the account at mail.google.com. Each separate google service site would see a different set of cookies and not know about what you do on their other sites.
Given googles recent privacy change, this seems important.

Make filter wildcards more clear

Anonymous — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:43:52 -0000

Tried to add http://plus.google.com/\ and http://\.plus.google.com/* to filters, doesn't work.

add + infront of each keyword searched

Anonymous — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 08:26:34 -0000

currently google gives me results even if one of my keywords is not on page (not a caching issue).
to circumvent this it would be nice to have a + infront of each search term sent to google.

Google Finance

Google finance ( www.google.com/finance/ ) supports https, however, it isn't listed as one of the services in OptimizeGoogle. You should consider including options for google finance, which include https (SSL) support for it.

Disable previes toggle

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:08:21 -0000

The Google search page is fine, I suppose, but they recently moved links for Cache and Similar onto the preview pane, which make them a pain to use. I rarely use the preview side. I've found myself just turning the page style OFF (no page style) instead of basic page style. Drawback to this is all the elements for the top and sidebar links require you to scroll down about halfway on the page before seeing useful results. Upside is, results are numbered, contain cache and similar, and look very clean. Maybe they could be loaded in a "container" while the top and sidebar are left alone as Google wants them.
Maybe someone will write a whole page style for this damn thing. I'm not sure how to even start.
When toggled to basic page style I use a greasemonkey script to get rid of the horrible BLACK top bar and return it to normal.

Expand wildcard functionality.

Feature Request: Enhance wildcard functionality.

Thank you for this add-on. Having discovered it, not sure I ever want to live without it.

Could you expand the wildcard functionality beyond just '*'? Ultimate would be full RE, but not there yet.

In the mean time, of particular value would be '?' for matching a single character.

Despite saying english results only, google keeps returning non-english search results, and results from non-english sites. I'm sure they're fine sites, but I can't read them, so returning them in a search result to me is pointless. I really like your filter mechanism in that instance - I can be aware that the pages are out there, without being distracted by the search hit. Granted - google translate is out there, but I can still choose that option if I can't find what I'm looking for in English.

So, for example, I can filter forums,ubuntu-*.*/* and take care of those. (English / U.S. forums being forums.ubuntu.*/*.

However, there are sites of the form mysite.@@, e.g. mysite.sk, mysite.de. Filtering with mysite.*/* would catch mysite.com/*, which I would want to keep. However, filtering by mystie.??/* would work.

Beyond that a minor improvement be to be able to exclude .uk from the above, but I think you really are into full RE at that point.

Actually - another way to do this would be to establish whitelists. Then I could, for example:
mysite.com (whitelist)
mysite.uk (whitelist)
mysite.* (blacklist)

I don't know the order in which you process filters, but if they are in the order entered, then perhaps an easy to implement a whitelist is to accept it is if a post-pended '+' is present. Default would be as current, and a post-pended '-' would also mean blacklist.

If such a scheme were implemented, I expect you would also have to implement an up/down arrow in the filter list dialogue, to change the filter string orders.

Thanks for anything you can do.

Some site are totally useless, but some are useless to given search phrase so it shouldn't be block totally but only if it in wrong context
