Google is THE popular search engine and made its owners very rich. It has helped its users find things and it has helped governments spying on us. Here are some graphics and some comments from an outfit that doesn't like what they do. They also did something about them. Using Google Scraper will block information from you and stop Google knowing what you are interested in. In a politically correct age this is useful. Given that Bush has brought us America as a Fascist State it all matters.
One answer is to use Scroogle.
Another is to use anonymous surfing. Do a Google [ sorry make that Scroogle ] search on
anonymous surfing.

"We are moving to a Google that knows more about you."
— Google CEO Eric Schmidt, February 9, 2005
Since 2000, Google has recorded your search terms, the
date-time of each search, the globally-unique ID in your cookie (it expires in
2038), and your IP address. This information is available to governments on
request. If your favorite site features a Google search box, ask them to install
their own local site search. They could also use our
site search for webmasters,
which shows the same results without the tracking.
Errors & omissions,
broken links, cock ups, over-emphasis, malice [ real or imaginary ] or whatever;
if you find any I am open to comment.
