Ask.com’s new eraser


Well, Ask.com has a brand new feature for privacy conscious search engine users. They are allowing users to delete the IP address and the actual queries made. I think this is a good thing and I think I am going to start using Ask.com more often. I don’t like how other search engines keep your search requests and keep it for years and years.

When enabled by the user, the feature will completely delete search queries and associated cookie information from Ask.com servers — including IP addresses, user IDs, session IDs and the text of queries made, according to the company. In most cases, the deletion will take place within a few hours of the time a search is completed, the company said.

So there it is. It should be a very good thing. What do you think?

    Bravest comment I have read in a while - Using ASK.com! That’s like the people who claim they will give up smoking :)
    If you know your way around Google then there really is no substitute. It would be interesting to know if you stick to your comment :) I happen to like what they have done to ASK, but the results are the proof of the pudding and they are still not accurate.

    Best regards
