Raise your hand if you’ve spent more than your fair share of time complaining about your inability to disable Google’s Personalized Search without logging out of your Google services or accounts. Fortunately, for all those of us who practically dislocated our shoulders from shooting our hands up so quickly, Joost de Valk has delivered an answer to our prayers by way of his Google de-Personalized Search plug-in that allows you to search Google from your Firefox or IE 7 toolbar and get de-Personalized results even while logged-in. Here’s a screenshot of how the plug-in integrates into Firefox:
This thing works like a charm, folks. Get it, use it, love it. And a huge thanks to Joost for taking the time to make this tool, I’m sure I’m not alone in my gratitude.
