If you are concerned about the sensitive information that you reveal to Google when you search, then PWS can help you. PWS is a Firefox plugin that minimizes what you reveal about yourself when you search the Web.

PWS does three things:

It normalizes your query so it looks like everyone else's query.

It sends your query through an anonymity network.

It removes active components from the result page so that your browser can display it without revealing sensitive information.

PWS is part of an ongoing research project that studies and provides solutions to current privacy issues on the Web. Please try it.
