I'm not sure that's true, but in any case, being tracked is the price you pay for using Google.
The way I see it, there are three options:
* Accept it and keep using Google
* Use DuckDuckGo, Bing or some other search engine
* Struggle to use hacks like Scroogle
Tracking users is a key part of Google's business model. If you use their services, they're going to track you and target ads to you. And they're going to keep implementing things like throttling to frustrate sites like Scroogle.
