Some care about internet privacy, some don't. A heads up for those who do. Scroogle takes the Google search results without the adds and without tracking. Ofcourse questionable who the hell Scroogle is but in my opinion anything over this ever growing monster. Read here for some background information.
 
Other search services that seem to care about your privacy: https://www.ixquick.com/ and https://duckduckgo.com/?t=i
 
Experiences, opinions?

From the Ixquick web site:

 
I think this is important enough for people to read it......

 

Your privacy is under attack!

Every time you use a regular search engine, your search data is recorded. Major search engines capture your IP address and use tracking cookies to make a record of your search terms, the time of your visit, and the links you choose - then they store that information in a giant database.

Those searches reveal a shocking amount of personal information about you, such as your interests, family circumstances, political leanings, medical conditions, and more. This information is modern-day gold for marketers, government officials, hackers and criminals - all of whom would love to get their hands on your private search data.
 
 
Just made Ixquick my default search engine!!

Well Boats are chick magnets....even better than sports cars.
 
After about a year of owning my boat, I gave it the only name that came to mind...PlayStation, head I know its kind of corny but Sin-City was already taken and so was Sodom and Gomorrah....
