For 18 years NEAT NET TRICKS newsletters carried with them the slogan "No Screwdriver Needed," meaning their focus was on the entertaining and easy things one can do with the computer and Internet without being a technical whiz. Publication ended December 31, 2014, but this free Forum continues as long as there is an interest and need to communicate questions and concerns regarding the Internet and computers.

Zeekly is supposed to offer a private and secure Web search with encryption and without storing your search activity. However, i noticed that once the result page is shown 'Noscript' shows that 'googlesyndication.com' script wants to be run. Abine states that 'googlesyndication.com' is a domain used by Google Adsense which is an advertising company that is part of a network of sites, cookies, and other technologies used to track you, what you do and what you click on, as you go from site to site, surfing the Web'. Seems you will be tracked even using Zeekly

Zeekly,and many others like it don't keep the information,but any other pages you go to does.It can honestly say they don't keep your information,but on the other hand all the places you go to does.Its really a false sense of security.I used start page for a long time,and it does the same thing.Your are just as safe using google or bing.There is no PRIVACY anymore.The only way you are going to get privacy is turning off your computer.Now that's only my opinion.Personally I don't care who knows where I have been.
