[RESOLVED] Google's scriptless tracking of search results

Hello -
I remember a while back there was a new surrogate against Google's scriptless tracking of search results navigation added. Seems Google has changed again? Here is a picture of the quick "interstitial" I am now getting when doing a search. When the surrogate was first added, I would get the NS icon next to the first line, now I don't see that. Already reported? Not a problem?

That's an artifact of switching Google to its original scriptless version and is due to having Google.com blocked or not whitelisted and using NoScript to defeat their scriptless tracking, its a necessary "side effect" if you will at the moment.

May I suggest
https://startpage.com? All of the Google, none of the scripting or privacy invasion.

Will do. Thanks! (I was using Scroogle, but that is not operational anymore). Again, thanks for the site link.

Ditto. I used Scroogle for years, but Google deliberately squashed them.
One more reason I avoid Google...
And you're quite welcome. Pass it on.
