Anyway

For those, like me, who are some­what privacy-oriented, and use Fire­fox as their browser, I recom­mend using the Cus­tom­ize Google exten­sion. I set it up to use https for access­ing Google docs, reader, and cal­en­dar, and to anonym­ize the Google ID for search­ing. You can also anonym­ize the Google ana­lyt­ics cookie, which I’m not doing for the time being. It has a bunch of other fea­tures that might be of interest as well, such as set­ting <a href = http://www.customizegoogle.com/sticky-google-preferences.html”>various preferences or tak­ing selec­ted sites out of search res­ults (e.g., adult sites for your kids). I’ve been using it for a month and have had no prob­lems with it.
