This is really useless. Use DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials instead.

A great private search engine built on top of the Bing API, borrows some elements from DuckDuckGo. I already enjoyed using Bing but being able to use Ghostery Private Search, formally Ghostery Glow, with the privacy benefits included makes it way better than Bing alone. Now I just need them to implement other things Bing already has such as Images and News, maybe Apple Maps like DuckDuckGo, ect.
