Feature request: site preferences options

[Yosuke Arai]

Well, for example, suppose you want to know about OmniWeb and Mac, and 
search Google,
http://www.google.com/search?q=OmniWeb+Mac
and you pay a visit to a certain webpage via search result.
In this case, the site owner can get to know "someone visited my 
website who's interested in OmniWeb and Mac." Of course, he/she can't 
identify me (or a certain person), but I'm not willing to let the site 
owner know my search terms. Maybe I'm too cautious, I think.
