Google will allow search on it’s web site with Anonymizer Universal running, but it blocks attempts to use the “Cached” link.

This is useful when you have a search term that may appear sparsely in a long web page. The color coding also helps show proximity of multiple search terms.

The block says:
“We’re sorry…
“… but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.”

Any fix in the works, or do we have to unprotect ourselves to do this?

Google (aka Big Brother) is the biggest hypocrite. They track everything you do, and collect so much information on each person without their knowledge it’s scary. Rest assured Google knows exactly who you are and how you spend your time and money online without you having to explicitly provide your personal info, as in Korea.

Just look at the TOC it tried to sneakily implement with its Chrome browser that got shouted down by Internet users. Do you think Google is a charity? It is a multi-hundred-billion dollar company that is accountable to its shareholders, i.e. its primary purpose is to make money, not protect your privacy.
