Scroogle - Use GET over SSL

Nicer look, SSL + GET for increased security and usability. <b>(now with before & after screenshots!)</b>

Quick overview of Scroogle - this is an anonymizer service which prevents Google, Inc. from connecting your searches to you. They wipe logs religiously, there are no cookies, etc. Using SSL also means nobody can read your traffic and note your search queries. Learn more at www.scroogle.org and www.google-watch.org.

If using SSL, further searches should be SSL. Also, SSL makes it safe to use GET (which makes session management easier).
If not using SSL, it is not safe to use GET. We use POST to ensure privacy.

Add a bookmark to https://ssl.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi?Gw=%s and give it a keyword like "g" or "google" for quick searching, so that you can type "g this is a search query" into your locationbar.
