They have no choice but to respect them. However, Java and Flash both have
ways that still leak your IP so all plugins will be disabled along with
JavaScript. I don't mean disabled with an option either. I'm going to
hardcode the changes so it's impossible for them to become active.

I think you're overreacting just a little. It is ultimately just a browser
landing page, not much different from the default Firefox homepage and any
JavaScript that Google tries to load will be ignored just as if you were
loading from google.com directly. If you can give me an actual example of
how my page is any worse than Google.com then I will fix it ASAP. Otherwise,
I don't see an issue.
