Cuil or Mooter or Alta Vista might have been better recommendations.

Ixquick doesn't save any information about you and Scroogle only saves your IP address for a couple of days.

So Ixquick is slightly more private, but Scroogle submits your search to Google, so it gives better search results.

Neither site uses cookies.

Both sites provide a free Firefox search-bar addon. I use the ssl version of each addon.
