Google's tracking is of limited concern if you don't log in, and don't keep a long running browser session open. It takes less time to establish a Tor circuit over broadband than it used to take to connect by modem. Shut down TBB when not in use and you should be fine. I'm not saying there's no risk at all, but there's no reason why somebody who understands the risks shouldn't be able to use Google carefully. Personally I use DDG, partly because of privacy concerns and partly because I don't like the new-look Google. You can always do a Google search through DDG or Scroogle if you're feeling paranoid. On topic, I'd prefer DDG or Ixquick as the default search in TBB but we can't all have our preferences included. Julian -- 3072D/D2DE707D Julian Yon (2011 General Use) <pgp.2011@xxxxxx>
