Android/Chrome/Firefox/Web: We mentioned Disconnect Search when it came out for Chrome and Firefox, and when it launched for Android. Now the privacy-protecting service is out of beta, faster than ever, and packing a few new features to make the web more secure.
Disconnect Search already makes your searches completely private and untrackable, whether you use Google, Bing, Yahoo, or even the already-private DuckDuckGo. Searches are routed through Disconnect and anonymised, so they appear to come from Disconnect instead of a specific user. Plus, those queries are encrypted, so ISPs (or anyone riding their lines) can’t see what you’re looking for. Disconnect also never logs keywords, IP addresses, or other personally identifiable information. Each search is just as anonymous as the first one.
The service has been available in the form of a browser extension and an Android app up to this point, but if you don’t want to install anything (or can’t, because you’re at work), you can head right over to the website to search directly. Hit the link below to give it a try.
