Howto get rid Google searching machine
 
..It is time for this action because uncle Google brutally threads on my rights.
They change their Privacy policy trying to track all my Net activity and then sale this target listing.
NO!
I do not agree with Google so I find alternative of Google searching machine. I get rid Google and now I am with DuckDuckGo(SSL). Actually this is an Add-on of Firefox. Just DL and add. Easy.
I stop using Chrome now.

Do YOU think your Gmail account keeps secret of your data? Never.

Stop Inet spies, Stop PIPA, SOPA and ACTA!

NOW!



:OK:

Yoga Google is doing no such thing. They are changing their privacy policy to merge their tracking and advertising across their sites. They have been doing this for years, people have known about it for years. It is how they tailor their adverts towards people, and how they make money.

The program you linked uses Bing and Yahoo! as sources, both of which I am sure track your searches to better advertise to you.

This has nothing to do with SOPA, PIPA (both only in America) or ACTA, Google was one of the companies first to stand up and say that they were against SOPA and PIPA. And yes GMail is required to keep your emails private, it is part of their ToS. A quick browse of their F.A.Q is all that would have taken, http://support.google.com/mail/bin/a...answer=1304609 for you to see that.

I've been thinking about switching search engines for awhile. Not because of the privacy issues, but because I'd like to break free of the "echo chamber" effect google results eventually give you.

I've heard good things about DuckDuckGo, although I've not tried it yet. They'd better be awesome, because their name is ridiculous :)

Sure, the name is ridiculous, but for YOU this is not important.

Try it (You always may switch between Google searching machine and Duck.)

I do not see any difference between both machines.

:D

Welcome to reality. Every single company on the surface of Earth do that. Nothing is ever really "free".

All you need is this - Link
No data from you for Google anymore. Well, aside from search query statistics.

Alternatively, if you prevent Javascript on their sites they'll really have a hard time gathering anything but very basic info every single site in existence already gather. ;)
