When Google was first launched their unofficial motto was "Don't be evil." Looking at the history of Google and where things stand today you may question if that philosophy has changed. This infographic does a great job at providing a historical perspective on Google and issues that have come up. Are you concerned about tracking, privacy, filter bubbles, and more? If so, check out this infographic.

Disconect Search is a new tool that works with most search engines (including Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and Blekko) in Chrome and Firefox and allows you to keep your information private. If you are concerned about issues of tracking this new tool will help you keep your search information private.
There is a short video that explains the process on the site.
There is also a short article about Disconnect on TechCrunch. Below are two quotes from this article.
“Your searches are anything but private,” he noted in a statement. “Search engines, and even websites and Internet service providers, can save your searches and connect them to your real name through your user accounts.” AND
“Even if you never log in to an account, search engines and many websites typically save your searches and connect them to an IP address, which can allow companies to uniquely identify your computer.”
