The problem with Google enhancement tools is that I almost always end up uninstalling it and going back to Google for the algorithm. Yeah I don't like it but for example Startpage was problematic.

Not only this, the results end up being quite slow and lot of things I took for granted are unavailable. Like I got used to just using the address bar as a calculator/currency/stock look up. I don't even land on the Google page, just do the calc or look up info in the address bar.
