See the TrackMeNot Chrome extension which does the same thing (also supports multiple search engines). I don't know how it affects Google ads though.

There's a similar extension for ads - https://adnauseam.io/

Works with uBlock Origin and sends a click to everything blocked.

That sounds amazing. And great for website owners, they'll get paid! Any experience with it? Don't want to lose my google account because of that.

I immediately thought of TrackMeNot. I wrote a similar but less complex program(https://github.com/torchhound/chaff). It originally used Google's Web Search API but that became deprecated and I switched to DuckDuckGo. I've been thinking about adding Faroo and Google Custom Search.
