If I remember correctly, there was a special procedure you needed to follow to customize things for more than one IP. And my IP ranges change every day to completely different ones :dry:Quote:

Google gets out of it: next level of accurate tracking, never mind your searches. Now every website you access can be analyzed in order. Their business is information and delivering accurate ads, this is the next level for that.
i read abt it few days ago n tried..I compared this with my isp DNS server but didnt notice any difference...
I have verizon, and I tested open dns,google,comodo along with verizon and google and open are tied just about following comodo then sadly verizon.
here's the tool I used

I used NameBench to compare the speeds of OpenDNS, Google's, Comodo's and my ISP's own servers. The first one was the fastest.Quote:

open dns rocks, ask yourself this, do you enjoy having google keep all your searches via there search engine?
what about them keeping your searches via there dns service?
Remember they keep this shit for 18 months
Open dns is a lot better and more reliable than you isp dns service and remember instead of your isp having all your search patterns open dns does.
Its a no brainer ,get open dns then get
https://ssl.scroogle.org/
for your searches ,take away as much info gathering as you possible can while on the net its really easy to do.
That's one of my main deterrents to use their service. They already log everything you search for along the unique tracking cookie you get every time you use one of their services and your IP. They say that information is deleted after some time, but who knows if that's true.Quote:

Yes Scroogle rocks, I found out about on here, It may have been you who pointed me in the right direction about it, another good one is https://www.startpage.com/
And google keeps your info for 18 long months and passes that info on to government agencies when they request, where as scroogle delete not only your search requests but your IP info as well every 48 hours.
As we talk about Scroogle, it seems they aren't having a good time :dabs: Today, every search query going through them results in this message:Quote:

We regret to announce that our Google scraper may have to be permanently retired, thanks to a change at Google. It depends on whether Google is willing to restore the simple interface that we've been scraping since Scroogle started five years ago. Actually, we've been using that interface for scraping since Google-Watch.org began in 2002.
...
It is not possible to continue Scroogle unless we have a simple interface that is stable. Google's main consumer-oriented interface that they want everyone to use is too complex, too bloated, and changes too frequently, to make our scraping operation possible.

They've already been through this once, and managed to pull themselves out of that hole. I really hope this won't be any different... :(
I'll have a look at the one you posted - I already knew about IXQuick, but wasn't aware they were powering Startpage. :)
