The process as explained in this article has nothing to do with privacy. The problem with privacy is not that I send Google a query, it’s they Google is scanning my machine, gathering cookie data, recording every move I make, mixing and matching my data with data from other sites, data from data brokers, also using third party cookies, etc etc etc…
Encrypting the query I make with Google isn’t going to change much of that.
