Guess I’m in the minority.
Sure Google is leftist, and should be avoided. But Scroogle (which I wasn’t aware of until just now) seems to simply piggyback on ... Google.
Why is it Google’s responsibility to cater to another company, which could arguably be described as a competitor?
If Scroogle is so fabulous, perhaps someone who feels that way should help them with funding, in order to build their own proprietary search engine - and take Google on for real.
Otherwise they’re sort of like pilot fish, living off a whale.
Not the whale’s responsibility, when you get right down to it.
One word: Ixquick.

Um, ok. It was a small sarcastic comment regarding Al Gore. Sorry you misunderstood it.
I use BING too.

Lol! OK....I was concerned that there was something about Bing that I didn’t know. I’m from Tennessee, where we KNOW all about the hypocrite, Gore. This is the state that Obama is ignoring during its worst natural disaster ever!
I absolutely despise Google!

****....is there anything else that has to be downloaded..????..(just started using firefox a few weeks ago)....does firefox automatically load the anonymizer in the initial download and the button allows it to operate?**** You must download Tor and Torbutton for Torbutton to work.
This link explains it for you By the way, here is a good tip. Always download Firefox add-ons from the add-on developers website. They will have the latest bug fixes which sometimes take a long time to make it to the Mozilla add-on page.

Scroogle, financially, lives and dies by donations, and donations alone. They do not “steal” ad revenue from Google, because on their search results page they don't show ads!
Scroogle, while tapping in to the Google search network, added the level of privacy that Google refused to (or wouldn't, for any number of reasons). That, in main, is why people used them. It's not like Scroogle was developed, and existed, in a total vacuum.
No, Google has no responsibility for the welfare or survival of Scroogle, or anyone else, in the same sense that Bill Gates has no responsibility to the welfare or survival of software developers. Just like in any other area of life, youse goes into this business, youse takes your chances. That's life.

If you use Firefox, you can install the
GoogleSharing Add-on. This will essentially do what you are looking for.
Read about it and decide for yourself.
