Not to be overly critical, but it sounds like you are asking us to just trust you with no proof of your claims.

How do we know that you in fact have properly randomized the hashes, really aren't using the data, and most importantly, how do we know you really are clearing the data from your servers when we ask you to? Are you going to make the source code available?

If its running on your servers, you have to plan to monetize right? How do you plan on doing that?

Edit: I should note it looks quite cool, and I am probably going to try it, but was wondering about the above points.

One additional question. Is it possible to ban specific sites from showing up? Like work related intranet things?

Yes... indeed... "work related" things... yes that is the problem... no other things... no.
You can block sites from the settings button in the extension

Our plan is to work with an initial customer base to create enough features to let users support us directly through paid features, instead of resorting to mining data and throwing up ads to sustain. Thats your best clue as to why we're not interested in your data. We don't have a motive to do that.
