Google Tracks you. Easy fix

So months ago Google announced they were going to track and save your search data. Why would they do this well it is too generate more revenue form your searching. Someone searches tours in Houston and once the system realizes you are looking for data they will populate your page with ads for this.

How to keep it private and have your searches not fall into you search history?

Click the Google search button.
The page loads then in the upper right corner you will see a wrench.
Click the wrench.
Down three lines is the new incognito window.  Then click the Google search button as normal and you are safe from the history keeping. 

Click that and nothing you search will show up in your history.

Here is what you will see.
You've gone incognito. Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close allopen incognito windows. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however. 

Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:
  • Websites that collect or share information about you
  • Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
  • Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
  • Surveillance by secret agents
  • People standing behind you
As long as the eye spy, cloak and dagger symbol is in the upper left corner you are free of the record keeping. 

Thank you
