Secure and anonymous use of Google

When you need to use Google or any other search engine you should use Scroogle instead. Scroogle is a "front-end" to google. You enter a search term in scroogle and it searches google for you, returning you the non-advertisement results from google. The benefit is scroogle does not log visitors IP addresses, use cookies or scripts...all of which google does to violate your privacy. Also, scroogle offers https access so your search terms can not be sniffed off the wire..

Scroogle also offers a nice firefox browser search-bar plugin (replaces the one of google) but it's not https and it just as easy to click the "home" button...

yes and no.

Yes:

You should not be using proxify or ANY subscription service, they offer zero anonymity. Your IP may not show up on this site but THEY control all the proxies so they can see what your doing/where your going...even if they say they can't (the only caveat here is now defunct "Freedom Network" which used to be run by ZeroKnowledge...it offered a benchmark level of anonymity and security and was a subscription service.)

You should be using Tor, it is the only anonymity network trusted by the comp. security IT world. Read my Tor thread for usage and background:
https://www.cannabis-world.org/cw/showthread.php?t=4330

Tor is funded and used by the EFF, Reporters Without Boarders, DARPA, US Gov. agencies/Military, The US International Broadcasting Bureau (Voice of America/Radio Free Europe/Radio Free Asia), Human Rights Watch, Global Voice, Amnesty International, etc, etc, etc. In other words Tor is very trusted, under heavy and constant development with 3 full time developers and many dozen part-time volunteer developers. I could go into the ins and outs of why Tor is the best choice but it's kinda tech heavy without long explanations...if you interested you can PM me or read up on the Tor website https://torproject.org , the Tor technical wiki https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ and the Tor users wiki https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter :

https://torproject.org

Hundreds of thousands of people around the world use Tor for a wide variety of reasons: journalists and bloggers, human rights workers, law enforcement officers, soldiers, corporations, citizens of repressive regimes, and just ordinary citizens.

People/organizations who use Tor and why they use it:

--------------------------------

No:

Scroogle only hides your IP address, cookies, etc from Google...nothing more. If you need to be anonymous you still need to hide your IP from Scroogle...the reason to use them is they don't log, they filter out "ad-sponsored results" and they help fight Google's attacks on anonymity.

You welcome.

Tor v.0.2.0.20-rc (first "Release Candiate") has just been released; I
suggest you use that version. Tor v.0.2... is replacing Tor v.0.1...; I've
been using the 0.2...-dev version for a while and it runs great. This rc
release also fixes the Hidden Service bug! A hidden service is a
web-site/forum/etc within the Tor network...both Alice (client/you) and
Bob (the host) are secure and anonymouse! There are quite a few
interesting hidden services in "onion land".

FYI:

"Tor" is a proto-acryonym for "The Onion Routing" not "The Onion
Route" or "The Onion Ring".
