I appreciate that, but:

1. If google is paying fastly, what prevents google from paying fastly some more to divulge the user information as well? As far as I understand ohp, the model assumes that the three parties are not aligned which is not true for the fastly:google connection.

2. Even 1. is not true, if the encrypted body is not salted, it is effectively just a unique hash of the original url, which means that forth party could make inferences about the content of the message by encrypting many possible url-s of interest through the google key encryption. Salt is not mentioned in the article.

I'm not a chrome user, so it is just random curiosity. In fact I like Google and many of the things that they've made affordable to the world, but I also do not like tracking of people for most reasons and for most of the ways it is done.
