Summary

Ghostery Private Search is your choice for search results that are ➤ Objective: Ghostery delivers unbiased results that are not influenced by your clicks or preferences. ➤ Private: We do not record your search history or personal data. ➤ Transparent: Ghostery provides privacy you can see with the help of WhoTracks.Me.

Most popular search engines collect massive amounts of user data. Their results are also flooded with ads, making it difficult to find what you want.

Ghostery does not log searches or filter results based on your profile, unlike other search engines that track you and sell your personal data.

I wish I had this from the begining. It's free, does all that I want it to do, low on cpu usage (practically zero) and gives me peace of mind compared to google, bing, yahoo, etc..

Private search results with private ads or no ads at all if I subscribe - what's not to love? A must-have for privacy-minded people that are looking for quality tools that aren't dependent on Google.
