Would be nice to have a Linux utility like this that was browser-agnosic and os-agnostic (ie. configurable to mask as any browser/os).

Another useful feature would be to have the utility follow some of the "next page" links on some of the searches, to make them look even more like regular human searches.

The "next page"-type behavior and more human-like searches was something I originally intended on adding but never got 'round to it. After re-discovering the code on my machine though, I'm finding myself a bit re-motivated.

The current version isn't browser-specific. You could add user-agent headers pretty easily. The existing C# code might compile with limited effort on Mono.
