</div>Good for keeping the people in the middle between you and google<br>
from sniffing your traffic. If you are a true paranoid (realist)<br>
the threat with any real search engine company is the law enforcement<br>
interface that enables them to see what you searched for from behind<br>
Google's systems. I'm hopeful that it takes some amount of paperwork and<br>
authorization, but I'm enough of a realist to know better.<br>
<br>
In fact, if I were law enforcement, I'd be more interested in what people<br>
were searching for over SSL than plain text.<br>
<br>
And while using tor and SSL also make sure you Ctrl-Shift-Del everything<br>
(css visited hacks and other fun) and randomly change your browser ident<br>
string, and tunnel to some distant servers.. and.. and..<br>
<br>
Or you can just stop being embarassed about searching for<br>
"steampunk cosplay dildonics" or "making chemical/biological weapons from<br>
household items" Although the latter might get you a visit from guys in<br>
dark suits...<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, hiding things is now "proof" that you have something to<br>
hide.<br>
