Your "porn mode" browser plugin would tell your browser to pass a
redacted URL to the filesystem. Your enemies would then know only that
you redacted something.
If you want to hide that as well, you will need to replace your
"porn-mode" browser plugin with a "porn-and-stealth-mode plugin which
instead of simple redaction spews Facebook URLs instead.
(and you need also need to buy a faster laptop to keep up with the
CPU-hungry reasoning engine used to pick Facebook URLs adequately
non-random yet not themselves revealing - whatever that means...)
If you want to save power and money, then go deep into the config
options for your pron-mode plugin and enable "I trust everything on the
Internet and want to treat all downloaded files as local when in porn
mode".
