We'll know in a week or so whether or not we lose another chunk of what makes the Internet, and it's users, special.
Any idea where else we can go to preserve privacy in searches?
*******************************************
I did a search and found nothing.
I hope I've posted this in the right area.
Admin/Mods: If I've misplaced this, please place it where suitable by your standards, and accept my apologies.
CA....
Ping.
Damn. Now it’s back to Startpage and Ixquick..
Enjoy what’s left of the Internet.
The communists are tightening their grip.
Dang, and I had just found Scroogle, too! :(
I must be getting old, because I have no idea what Scroogle or a “scraper” is.
I looked around couldn't find it.
That hacks me off. I switched to Scroogle a few months ago and loved it. WTH? This seems to be not just a ‘simple’ change but a targeted attack (imo) but I’m not savvy regarding the nuances of the tech world. I just use what’s there. I won’t go back to Google; no privacy and we’ve been told never to expect it and we don’t have a ‘right’ to it.
Their no doubt in bed with the current marxists.
looks like the google monster is concerned about “ITS” privacy.
I liked scroogle.
Well, I did a search since I have never used the site (web guy since 1993) and what they seem to do would tick me off if I was Google.
They are taking away Google’s ad revenues or did I miss what they do completely?
If I took DrudgeReport and stripped away all ads and news links and pushed it out, wouldn’t that seem wrong?
For secrecy, use anonomizer and you shouldn’t have an issue.
Big Brother is watching.
Also, as an alternative to using scroogle (while it is down), use google with Firefox with the Tor Button enabled.
Damn!
We use GoodSearch... they utilize the Yahoo engine and they share some of the adv revenue with your favorite charity. We’ve added both of our kids’ schools over the years and gained some monies for them. The real rewards come from clicking through them to online retailers - just for that ‘portal’ click-through the retailer kicks in a percent of the merchandise sale to your charity. Something to consider.
This is the same google that supports net neutrality. As they censor certain websites.
So all of us are supposed to believe that google requires the federal government to impose net neutrality in order to stop google from censoring?
That doesn't add up. Doesn't pass the smell test. I'm sure most of us can see through this.
Guess I’m in the minority.
Sure Google is leftist, and should be avoided. But Scroogle (which I wasn’t aware of until just now) seems to simply piggyback on ... Google.
Why is it Google’s responsibility to cater to another company, which could arguably be described as a competitor?
If Scroogle is so fabulous, perhaps someone who feels that way should help them with funding, in order to build their own proprietary search engine - and take Google on for real.
Otherwise they’re sort of like pilot fish, living off a whale.
Not the whale’s responsibility, when you get right down to it.
One word: Ixquick.
After all these years now I understand Scroogle’s name!
Google+scraper=Scroogle!
Learn sumpin new everyday!
