Google de-Personalized Search for Firefox and IE7

I've done it myself, I've created an OpenSearch plugin which adds &pws=0 to the query and thus shows you the clean results. This plugin easily allows you to search without having personalized searchresults, without logging out of Google. It'll work with Firefox 2+ and IE7.
Here it is: Google Search Plugin without Personalized Search.
Update: it now truly works in IE7, and does Google Suggest on Firefox as well.

Great tool... It is a fast way to compare personalized results with the normal results.
Now why didn't I think of that??? Excellent idea!
@PocketSEO: thx :)
@James: yeah well :P
hee man awesomely done!

That's awesome. Is there one available for google.ca as well?
@dawn: there is now!
@everyone else: thx for the kinds words!
Thanks Joost! :)
btw didnt noticed it yet but really cool those comments that let u show where your stuff is published ;)
Thanks for the plugin, it was getting to be a headache to have to keep login in and out.
Great plugin! This is very helpful for comparing results. Also, nice not to have to log out of Google all the time! Thanks!
Excellent plugin! it would be nice if you could change the G logo a bit so I can check if I'm searching personalized or non-personalized in a glance.. Perhaps make the google G in red or some other minor alteration.
hi, nice extensions. to compare personalized and depersonalized google search results pages you can use this little tool presseblog.at/depersonalizer/ (not installable, a web tool)
Please add google.com.BR version :0)
Regards.
@Emule: done.
Thank you, that's verry helpful, and not just for seo-s!
Seems like a great idea! But the download link doesn't work for me. Looks like someone was able to download just 3 days ago though.
Same issue here the URL for the list of plugin options is loading with an error. I loaded the Plugin on another PC other day, worked great!
argh my laptop was stolen - reinstalling everything and cant download your plugin!! argh!

Sorry about that guys!! Fixed it :)
Thanks thanks and thanks to you. i needed this plugin very much.
do u have for google.co.in also
and also it does not seem to work when we use google toolbar search option??
I believe it installed correctly, but don't see &pws=0 in my search urls. How can I make sure that I did in fact install it correctly and it is running?
Thanks.
@Anish & @zhanna: you need to make sure to be searching from the firefox or ie7 built in search box, it won't keep the pws=0 when using "normal" search or when using the google toolbar search.
Thank you!
i couldnt clear my google search box in firefox and i tried searching and doing everything. this is the only thing that worked for me. THANKS A MILLION!!
I think this plugin is great. I'm gonna try this right now, great article.
Zoiezo deze hele site is supergoed :) Thanks!
gr. Mark

works great.
Thanks
I'm not sure it worked for me...
I'm using FF 2.0.0.18 and I did install it correctly. After a Google search, I still see "Personalized based on your web history. More details"
How if we using the new Firefox 3.5 Beta 4, is it work ???
Good one, Olehjortland !
Works great
Hello everyone.
Is there a parameter to search for a specific word which or text that is not placed inside the regular content of a page but in the code, outside of the of the page ?
Thanks to all.
