Interesting for which use case? Depending on its design, Searchx may _boost_ the ability for e.g. Google to track search patterns of the FreedomBox owner, compared to other approaches (e.g. compare the difference of accessing Google via Tor and accessing Google/Bing/whatever fewer times each but _not_ bia Tor). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
