Stop using popular search engines and try others. Make them pay attention to your privacy concerns.

I have to compromise. For personal searches, I will abandon bing and Google, but for work-related searches, there is no better search engine(s).

Anyone else recall that back during the Bush administration they asked Google what people were most commonly searching for on some topic (kiddie porn?), not who was searching, just what was being searched on, and the Googlianos indignantly replied “We will never divulge that information”, but when the 0bamans say “Jump”, the ask “How high?” on the way up?

Clear your cookies every day as well, or install a cookie blocker. Everytime you open TOR (It is firefox) you get a new random ip somewhere in the world. It is a tad slower, but not much. Adds about a 1/2 sec load time on FR.

Those are free.
If I use something for free, I can’t hardly complain about it.

To clarify... I also have a choice not to use them if I don't like them.

Ok...

What was the website that Glenn Beck mentioned the other day that sells a thumb-stick to surf from with software on it with no tractability?

I like dogpile. One advantage is that if you ever get hit with malware that redirects search engines, they usually only redirect google, yahoo, bing, etc. A smaller search engine like dogpile is usually unaffected, so you can use it to download removal tools.

One thing they need to add is the auto-complete feedback that you get from google.

If you mean "Search suggestions" you'll find a check box in the Startpage settings area. It will display query suggestions in the search box. There are details there on what it is and how it works.

I’ll stick with Google, thank you. Nothing to hide.

I have a question. First of all, I have nothing to hide and it really, really irks me that the feds don't have anything better to do with their time and my money than to track people like me. But I really, really don't like being a cyber-composite of the sites I choose to visit. If a person uses more than one search engine, does it all get tallied together? What about using more than one email address? What about some curve balls...visiting sites that warp my profile?

My head is just spinning. How is Snowdon a traitor? I'm sure every terrorist wannabee knew that the feds were watching communications. He was merely verifying the obvious.

I do not consider Snowden a traitor.

Do you mean SEO?
