Startpage (anonymous privacy Google):
dolphin: .org #2, .com #6
dolphin emu: .com #1, .org #2 (yes really)
dolphin emulator: .org #1, .com #2 (really!)
dolphin [wii,gamecube]: .com #1, .org #2
And clicking on Google search results to influence them is just awful for privacy.
Note that on Youtube, it knows I like a particular video game, even though I clear cookies every time I close the browser (really no big deal with remember passwords, which are in themselves an enormous security risk, though less with encryption).
After logging in, where I disabled spying on which video you watched (they probably still do it, just don't tell you about it), I no longer get suggestions for that game. What I think is that Google may track by IP or Panopticlick-style profiling (useragent, plugins, distinguishing details, browser size, version, etc) and then use those to create different profiles, meaning clearing cookies may not be effective enough. Startpage may or may not track search, but will not track clicks. DuckDuckGo does, which makes me doubt their commitment to privacy.
