There is a search engine at the top right in your browser.

Here's a thread that deals with internet stuff and Government agents sitting in cubicles somewhere in Virginia and eating McDonalds dollar menu sandwiches while reading every word you type.

Why do you think your IP is being tracked?

Shroomery has over 183,000 users, we will be among the first to know when it becomes necessary to use proxies and tor for our daily browsing.
For people browsing from work its already necessary, otherwise probably have some time and it will probably never be necessary.
