The original script by khopesh is available here on userscripts.

Improved Scroogle extends upon the Scroogle search engine, an anonymised and optionally encrypted interface to Google.

The following features are added by the original script:

  • Cache links to CoralCache and Google
  • Improved aesthetics

The following features were suggested and implemented in the original script, as the result of suggestion or exhibition here:

  • History link via the Wayback Machine
  • Additional improved aesthetics
  • Hassle-free PDF viewing - links to Google View as HTML & PdfMeNot

The following features are unique to Improved Scroogle:

  • Slight graphics optimisation
  • Improved privacy

At the time of writing, SSL in Firefox does not result does not blank the referer, as claimed. Improved Scroogle's privacy improvement comes from the removal of GET-based features from the original script.

Again, I stress that this is a derivative created to meet my needs. I thank the original author, and hope that my modifications may benefit any interested.
