Both Google's ability to track what I do on my browser (searches) and their tendency to scan emails concerns me. I pointed out the anonymous search engine a month or two in the past, but it does not compare in results go google:
http://startpage.com/ Nevertheless, I prefer to use an anonymous search engine. However, there is a start page link that will produce 100% google search result. I have seen it before, but I don't remember where I saw it, and I can't find it. I am wondering if anyone on the list has that link, and if so I wanted to request that it be posted to the list.
