Referer Privacy Guard Extension for FF download

The idea behind this was good, but because it's impossible to cancel 401 authorization popus, I changed my approach. See details @ the new Project: Referer Negotiation Extension. (which I will create....eventually).

Features

Sends AJAX requests to random website from browsing history
The Referer header for these requests is another randomly selected URL from history
Trims the URL to only have the domain name -- so we don't accidentally give away personal information which is often found in URLs
Interval is set by user. Interval is actually a range of numbers to prevent differentiation between extension-generated requests and user-generated requests on Server Logs
401 Authorization ruined everything...A bunch of popup Authorization boxes if AJAX request sent to website that requires 401 Auth
So many 401 Auth boxes....Firefox becomes unusable
No good info on how to cancel 401 Boxes through FF Extension
Not sure if the idea is worth the hassle of figuring out how to cancel 401s on my own
