The world is a bit divided about Google. It’s a great search engine and Google Maps is just amazing as is Google Earth, Gmail etc etc. But Google collects a lot of information about you. For example if you are logged in to Google and do a search your search is recorded.
Now my own belief is that they just want to make money, which they are very good at doing, but some people are concerned enough (but still like using Google to do searches) hence scroogle. I can’t imagine how they got the name.. Screw Google? Surely not! So that’s what Scroogle does. You can run google searches indirectly through it so it can’t be traced and recorded against you.
While Google itself isn’t evil, the data it collects could be used against you, like Yahoo did with giving up information about a Chinese blogger who is now in jail. Last year Google resisted attempts by the US Govt to get hold of some of its data but in the future…
