Depersonalizing Google

Face-off - 4 Ways to De-personalize Google, Pete, Daily SEO Blog (Jan)

It's simple. If you don't want Google to personalize your search results, turn them off. Pete tried several methods and concluded that turning off social results in Google really did turn them off, but Pete was never able to break free from localized results based on IP.

Someone answered that question - "The localization problem can be fixed if you click the "Change location" link and change your location."

Pete steered away from Chrome - because trusting it may be like putting the wolf in charge of the chicken coop. Others said that Chrome could be used to search anonymously.

Another recommended searching google inside proxify.com "a web-based anonymous proxy service which allows anyone to surf the Web privately and securely. "
