Google will bend to my will... just a little. I've not had a moan about much lately so thought I'd have a go at google. I've been trying Google+ over the past few days and all that +1 nonsense is starting to annoy me. Ok, it is annoying me. It started when the +1 button first appeared. And to be honest, I've only just become a facebook user and I have never enjoyed the act of trying to accumulate friends online anyway. So doing so in a system which is already annoying me with it's juvenile +1 paradigm is doubly bad.
So the best thing about computers comes to the rescue. Delete. Delete my google profile. Just Gmail and search for me thankyou. No I don't want a calender thankyou. Go away. So I've quickly spent a few minutes looking for solutions, and offer them here: GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS SUCK: 1) Install greasemonkey 2) install greasemonkey script: "googlemonkeyr" 3) install greasemonkey script: "Disable GOGL Instant Previews" No more instant previews of search results, and you can copy and paste the links to the results like you used to. ALTERNATIVE SEARCH ENGINES: https://eu.ixquick.com/ -- "the world's most private search engine" https://ssl.scroogle.org/ -- "no cookies, no search-term records, access log deleted within 48 hours" https://duckduckgo.com/ -- "We don't bubble or track you!" ---------- here's the resource i found most of that stuff through: "I am so sick of google's search result urls with tracking info" http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=27324.0 _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
