Tech > Scroogle - Google with Privacy, SSL Encryption

I discovered Scroogle in my Sitemeter logs. Scroogle is a proxy that processes your search through Google but masks your IP address and strips out cookies. Scroogle claims they delete their access logs within 48 hours.

There's also an option to use SSL encryption so that no one can monitor what you're searching for or what results you get back. (But once you click on a link and leave the results page be aware that your Web traffic will be open to prying eyes, as always.)

Visit the main page for plug-ins for Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera. Be sure to select the SSL versions.
