i spelled it wrong for a reason – i don’t want the spiders to find it here or anywhere.

scr00gle allows you to search without being tracked and recorded by scraping g00gle’s search results.

use:  https://ssl.scroogle.org/

from their site:

When the Scroogle results come back from an SSL search, and you click on any of the links shown on that secure page, there is another advantage. SSL does not allow the browser to record the address where that secure page came from, and attach it to any outgoing links on that page. Normally all browsers do this, and it’s called the “referrer” address. But SSL blanks out the referrer, so that any site you click on from a Scroogle SSL page won’t even know that you arrived at their site from Scroogle. The referrer will be blank, and your log entry will look like any of the hundreds of bots that crawl the web all day and night with similar blank referrers.

i say it is 1/7th of the answer because there are several elements of privacy you can attempt to control while on the web:

1.  search history (use scr00gle)

2.  email  (only answer there is PGP, SLL enabled mail, and absolutely NO free email accounts)

3. instant messaging (gets harder when people won’t use encryption)

4.  browsing (use tor)

5.  bookmarks and stored history (keep your bookmarks local)

6.  social websites (not so good)

7.  disparate usernames

Scott McNealy of SUN Microsystems: “You have zero privacy now. Get over it!”  Or get around it.  if you want personalization, you are giving up privacy.  read nick carr’s book:  the big switch.  you will be appalled at what can be determined from the bread crumbs you leave on the web.
