   I'm using https://ixquick.com to be !Googlefree, but there are all kinds of Google Adwords ads on the results page. AdBlock Plus isn't able to block them, even with the Element Hiding Helper. 1) Anyone else experiencing this? 2) Got a fix? 3) This may be the incentive to switch to http://seeks-project.info to achieve the next level of !selfhosting

     So you're learning that most "free" services are only free as in beer. Ads and privacy violation are how they pay the bills.

     @gomerx "If a service is free, then you are the product" is a truth that needs to be repeated.

     Apropos to our discussion: "Google's 2013 third quarter profits were nearly $3 billion; that profit is the difference between how much our privacy is worth and the cost of the services we receive in exchange for it." --Bruce Schneier in " !Surveillance as a Business Model" https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/11/surveillance_as_1.html
