For maybe I couple of years it has been almost impossible for me to use Google's search via Tor. (It keeps calling me a virus.) Somebody eventually told me about Scroogle ( http://www.scroogle.org/scraper.html ) which I have had good luck with via Tor. I *think* that recently, after Google flags you as "suspicious activity" it allows you to proceed with a captcha *if* you accept cookies. Not a good way to remain anonymous unless you immediately delete the cookies. (When I first tried to use Tor I had some, now long forgotten, problem. Google-analytics was my motivation for solving the problem.) > But about last two monthes there is problems with using the Yahoo mail > through Tor. If you are talking about "error 999" (Yahoo's term), I have occasionally had problems with that for a long time. Recently it seems to have become routine. You can immediately go to the captcha login for email (which I don't have trouble with from Tor) with: https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.ab=1&.done=http%3A//mail.yahoo.com (of course, Yahoo might break that link at any time) Be aware that although *login* to Yahoo mail is https, the other transmissions are in clear text. So you are exposing your email (both send and receive) to exit nodes. P.S. After seeing bao song's post, I remembered I have fiddled with Privoxy's settings to keep it from mangling Yahoo mail. But I have routed Yahoo's mail clear text straight to the Internet to avoid any exit node mischief. I send the https login via Tor because it it too difficult to separate from my other Yahoo traffic.
