it's a fucking weak defense against intrusive 'detecting'
Typing a username into a search engine is no more 'detecting' than taking a shit on a canvas is 'painting'.
If you don't want it on the internet, don't put it on the internet. And if you do put it on the internet using the same or similar username everywhere you go, then don't act all surprised when 30 seconds on google reveals quite a bit about you. After all, that's precisely what it's designed to do.
