I read about this in a blog and thought I would share:

It seems like it is a service worth supporting, especially away from all the snooping and big brother that is going on in the UK as well. It seems to a search engine like Google but one that is very strict about privacy

Protesting Iranians use search engine Yauba to ensure privacy

It is widely known that dissidents in China have had their blogs deleted and in at least one case a major search engine (Yahoo) have contributed to the arrest of a Chinese journalist. This, along with the Iranian regime’s poor track record when it comes to human rights, is why many Iranian protesters use the a search engine that guarantees search privacy.

Ahmed Hossain, CIO of Yauba, tells Pandia: “Our traffic from Iran has jumped 300% over the past several days, as many of them are using the Yauba Search Engine and the anonymity proxy filter to access blocked sites and get news from foreign sources.”

Hossain explains that Yauba goes even further: “We are the only search engine that offers 3 levels of privacy protection for our users:
  • We use no cookies
  • We do not store any of our users’ search (or any other personally identifiable) information
  • We provide our users the ability to visit third party sites with the same level of privacy protection”

    Unlikely, as they also have a post from nearly a year ago that looks genuine enough.

    Most spammers include a link because that's how they get paid. I'm not sure what the benefit of this is, anonymous browsing has been done through online proxies for quite a while now.
