Well not anymore.

http://www.g8g1e.comallows you to get your google search results
without google knowing, also when you click a link in the results the
destination site doesnt know who you are and neither does your ISP!

1. This looks very much like a break of the terms of use of Google
services.

2. Why would I trust my some strange website which does not show any
contact details or similar? http://www.g8g1e.com/contact.php goes
nowhere?

3. Why would I trust some unknown company/person/service? They can log
all I search, all search results I click on, my IP address,
everything, too, except noone knows the company behind all that...
This service has now policies published.

3. The proxy is terribly slow.

4. The proxy does not work properly. I have just made a single
search, clicked on the first result and immediately my browser did
load some data from some other server except the proxy. A second test
with www.yahoo.com did the same. Unless it is a very simple web site
it seems as if the proxy is easily tricked. Thus "the destination site
doesnt know" is simply not true.

5. Everything is unencrypted. My ISP still knows which URLs I request
and which data I download even if it may be redirected through a
proxy.

6. You advertise it here and do not show your link to the service or
company running this service. You don't use your full name. Don't
reveal that you work for this company.

Sorry, but this service of yours is simply worse then Google in pretty
much any respect I could think of... My advise for anyone is
definitively NOT to use that service. Something with no policy at all
and so badly implemented that it does not fully on the very first two
test searches done can't be any good...
