The 'hacked' Google don't need plugins to ensure that Google doesn't
collect your data. Not everybody is using Firefox.
But Scroogle for the German language isn't really a German Google, hits
very often are terrible translated English sides, when using Scroogle.
Other search engines, such as Clusty became untrustworthy.

There are a lot more that can do this I know, but to be secure I don't
like to leave the house armed with a Colt. If I would need a Colt to
leave my home, I wouldn't feel comfortable. Analogies might be a little
bit inappropriate, but IMO it's a similar situation.
