Scroogle is a screen-scraping proxy for the Google search engine that circumvents Google s tracking of all user activity, and Google s practice of storing this information indefinitely. The site also allows users to perform Google searches without receiving Google advertisements. A Yahoo scraper is included. There is support for 28 languages, and Mozilla offers a Scroogle plugin for the Firefox search bar.

The cartoons and comments found in scroogle pages suggest that aspects of Google s operations might have more sinister elements than the average user expects. As of October 2005, it was handling 15,000 searches per day. The source code for the scraper, written in C for compilation on a Linux box, is available on the site.
