On the topic of anonymity and help with anonymous proxy configuration;
   Sadly it *is* the one topic you are most likely never to get people
openly posting lots of details about. The ones who know most are
unlikely to want their details permanently distributed on this list
archive. Unlike proper privacy when a "trick" or protection of anonymity
is outed it drops in usefulness as "them" learn about it and devise ().
   Everybodies opinions of what headers should be added/removed or
replaced (and with what) is different. Removing and altering other
services headers is itself a violation of the HTTP specifications by the
proxy. So everybody who actually *uses* these directives is pretty much
abusing HTTP. "We the Project" don't offer an official opinion or
recommendation about should or should not for most headers - as
demonstrated by that config file text being a simple notice of the old
features deprecation and a list of what the old feature did in terms of
the new one, not an endorsement or guarantee of any header in it.
  In short you are left to devise the method for your own anonymity - we
can but help if some specific goes wrong.

Or just use ICAP if a really complex system is required.
I have seen some abuse of browser info and user agent headers as of to push into the client browser specific data.

I dont like the idea of everybody knows what is going on inside my browser but what can I not expose? some yahoo news? some holy stuff? linux related stuff?

Since these are the basic usage that most honest and decent users will do I do not afraid that someone will see my search for "רמב"ם" or for bible.
