Ask.com offers anonymous web searching

Most casual internet users wouldn’t think twice before typing something into the search box, but little do they realize that their searching habits are being tracked and analyzed. In response to piracy concerns, Ask.com has introduced a feature called AskEraser that promises to put an end to search behavior tracking.
It is unclear whether user’s privacy is completely guaranteed. Additional tracking cookies used by advertisers cannot be checked using AskEraser. However, it’s a great first step.
