Scroogle is a front end to google that encrypts the connection to google and prevents google from recording personally identifiable information.

Goggle has developed a new web browser called Chrome. We advise anyone who values their privacy to stay away from this browser. A look at the licensing agreement tells it all:

“[Y]ou give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display,”

Say what?

That’s right “Your browsing are belong to us”

Unfortunately, someday, somehow, someway, somebody may get a hold of your browsing history and your search history, possibly including “unique identifier” and IP address and exact time of the search.  Not good.

And Google is not alone in this,  as most search engines do the same. 

We recommend ixquick.com. The web search engine that respects YOUR privacy.

(awarded the European Privacy Seal)

Extra added bonus!  ixquick also provides access via secure server, so mot only do they not store your search queries, you can encrypt the connection with SSL.

And hey, it also works very well.  Quality seach results.

Hey, it’s “your privacy” after all.  And it is nobodies damn business what you search for on the Internet.

A few posts back, we introduced you to ixguick.com.  We have been using it and are very pleased with the quality search results provided.

Well, we have found another search engine that does not keep a search history.  Named Cuil, after an old Irish word for knowledge.

Find it at http://www.cuil.com/

Password Meter provides a good way to test your passwords for security.  Password Meter can be found at the following web site:  http://www.passwordmeter.com/

Didn’t know there was such a thing.  But sure enough, http://ixquick.com/ does not store any search information.  In fact:

On July 14th Ixquick was awarded the first European Privacy Seal.
Ixquick is now the first and only EU-approved search engine.

Goodbye google.

Maxwell Smart couldn’t do any better.

The 4th amendment of the US Constitution states:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

The 5th amendment states:

  ”No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
