Für alle, die nicht wissen worum's hierbei geht ... Scroogle ermöglichte normale Google Suchen, jedoch ohne die damit verbundenen Nachteile: keine Speicherung der IP (volle Anonymität gegenüber Google), keine unerwünschten Cookies, keine Werbung, etc. ... ich habe Scroogle seit Jahren als standard Search Engine im Suchfeld von FireFox oder Opera benutzt. Es hat prima funktioniert. Wirklich schade, dass Scroogle jetzt vermutlich für immer weg ist.

P.S.:
Der Name ist natürlich zusammengesetzt aus "Scrooge" (dem unsympathischen Charakter aus Dickens' Weihnachtsgeschichte) und "Google" (der unsympathischen Search Engine, die einen nach Strich und Faden ausspioniert) ...

P.P.S.:
Dieselbe Story habe ich heute vormittag schon mal im Distrowatch Forum gepostet, weil ich dachte, dass sich die Leute für sowas interessieren. Leider hat Ladislav meinen Beitrag aber sofort plattgemacht. Als ich dagegen protestiert habe, ist mein Protest ebenfalls sofort verschwunden. Tja, und dann ist die Situation ein wenig ausser Kontrolle geraten und ich habe Ladislav etwas beschimpft

Scroogle ...
... since last night the Scroogle Scraper doesn't work any more because apparently Google have killed the interface that Scroogle had been using. Presumably this is the end for Scroogle. Not nice! Anyone who still had any doubt about Google now knows for certain: Google is evil!
For those of you who don't know what this is all about ... Scroogle made it possible to use the Google search engine without having all the disadvantages that come with its standard interface ... your IP didn't get stored (full anonymity towards Google's data mining backends), no cookies were set, no adverts in the search results etc. ... I've been using Scroogle since years as my standard search engine in the search fields of Firefox or Opera browsers. It worked very well and I'm sorry to see it go.

Censorship on DWW ?
... surely, this can't be so! I wonder what was wrong with my previous posting #70 where I reported (and mourned) the disappearance of an interesting front-end to a popular search engine? Why did this get deleted? Not nice, Ladislav.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok ok ...
... I get it. You're a fascist, Ladislav.

Don't you think ...
... you're being a bit silly, Ladislav? Really, you should be able to come up with something better than blocking people's IP to shut them up for good. Why don't you question your attitude towards free speech for a change? It's no good to quote Mark Twain who was a strong advocate of free speech and then act like a Nazi yourself ...
If you censor people in your forum, why don't you at least post a short comment that explains why in your opinion someone's post had to be deleted?
Don't worry. I won't bother you or your web site again. It's not worth it.
