[tor-talk] Scroogle is No More?

[Mr Dash Four]

> Again, the msg you are seeing may not accurately describe the problem.
It does to me! A search engine is interested in my browser privacy 
settings and whether I use "privacy-oriented browser extensions". It 
goes on to "advice" me to turn OFF my "privacy-oriented browser 
extensions" in order to use that same search engine - that message looks 
pretty clear and straight-forward to me and that is why I won't use this 
site at all, as I value my privacy. As I already posted, any sane 
individual out there would do the same.

Which means what to me exactly?!

I have no interest whatsoever in starting to dig out "what the problem 
is" as to me it is a clear-cut case of yet-another-no-mark-site vying 
for a customer base to profit from. Thanks, but no thanks!

Well, the fact that you have used ixquick instead of scroogle "for 
years", given that until a week or so ago scroogle was available speak 
volumes!

And you know this how, exactly?!
