Scroogle is short for "Google Scraper". Scroogle is a not-for-profit search engine run by
GoogleWatch (founded by an ex-Google employee, they fight against Google's notorious invasions of your privacy). Scroogle enables you to access Google's own search engine algorithms and get all the search results you would get direct from Google itself, but without giving any of your own private information back to Google.
Scroogle hides your IP address from Google, blocks Google from dumping their notorious, privacy-invading cookie onto your computer, and returns your search results without
any advertisements at all!
Scroogle is one way for you to make a statement that you don't appreciate giving out your net habits to total strangers.
