In all seriousness, this is actually my main use case for the private browsing mode in chrome: to search google without the filter bubble(1)

It's quite shocking to see just how much those results differ from the ones I'm usually served, actually.

I know it's actually supposed to be 'awesome' to have every search tailored to _you_, but it just makes me feel uncomfortable that I'm not seeing the internet "the way it's supposed to be seen" - if that makes any sense.

(1): Or at least a smaller bubble, considering it still knows my location - even though i use google.com, my os, my browser, etc...
