			Alternatives for the Google Search Engine that proxy the search requests and results in order to stay anonymous for Google are: [https://ssl.scroogle.com/ Scroogle] and [https://startingpage.com/ Startingpage]. It is also possible to use the [http://www.googlesharing.net/ GoogleSharing Firefox Extension] to visit the Google Search pages anonymously (request headers stripped/unique ID from response cookies deleted).

			Clicktracking is the act of tracking the links on which a user clicks on a webpage. Google tracks the clicks to the websites clicked at the search page. This tracking by Google can be prevented by enabling the 'Remove click tracking' option of the [http://www.optimizegoogle.com/ OptimizeGoogle Add-on for Firefox] or by using [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/ Greasemonkey] in combination with one of the many available anti-clicktracking scripts which can be found at the [http://userscripts.org/search?cref=http://userscripts.org/cse.xml&cof=FORID:9&q=inurl:scripts+inurl:show+intitle:google+click+tracking userscripts.org website].

			In order to prevent websites from executing malicious javascript or gathering information about your system in order to uniquely identify you (see [https://panopticlick.eff.org/ panopticlick.eff.org]), the [http://noscript.net/ NoScript Firefox Extension] can be used. This allows a user to select which domains are allowed to run javascript in the browser. It has also countermeasures against [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Cross-site_scripting XSS], [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Clickjacking clickjacking] and the ability to force using SSL for certain websites in order to prevent attacking tools like [http://www.thoughtcrime.org/software/sslstrip/ SSLStrip].
