Google Anonymizer

What this does:
Anonymizes search requests to google and removes tracking systems on the results page. It transforms you into a ghost for google.
How it works:
Google's cookie contains an unique id that can be used to track all the search queries of an user, this script removes only the cookie containing this id.
The disadvantage of not having the google's cookie is that you can't save the google's search preferences, this script solve also this problem saving your preference locally and adding them every time to each search request.
Moreover Google uses on the results page some javascript functions to track the clicked links, this script removes also these tracking systems.

I'll assume that you already have Firefox. (If you don't have it, you really suck.)
Ok, you will need the Greasemonkey add-on for this tutorial. Here's a download link, if you need it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/22898/greasemonkey-0.7.20080121.0-fx.xpi

Once you have installed Greasemonkey, you can install the Anonymizer here:

Yea! You're done!

Note (moderaters): You could always use live search instead...
