  There was a browser extension back in the day that ran junk searches to poison whatever data they were harvesting on you. Sounds like it needs to make a comeback.

    There’s a browser addon called Meta Random Search which sends your queries randomly through google, bing, ddg, yahoo and other search engines so that nobody has a full history. Paired with a user agent switcher (personally using Chameleon on Firefox) with a high frequency of change (1 min or so) and disabled browser telemetry it might throw them off already even without poisoning results. Especially since every query consumes natural resources I’m not really a fan of this approach.
