Do you use a personal VPN now or still using iVPN?
I lost root when I upgraded to 5 and then 6 and the Google Search bar stayed removed. You sure you can't kill it without having root?
Ah, I see you answered my question about your VPN. Wanna sell it as a service? :)

I had that discussion yesterday lunchtime... whether that was a business.
All I've done is used streisand to set up a box: https://github.com/jlund/streisand
Then I changed the root password, logged on and modified the hosts.
I figure that ISPs are obliged to log everything, but hosting companies are not... and this means I avoid being logged at the same time as stripping adverts, speeding things up (a single permanently open connection everything goes over), and stops tracking by apps.
Hell, it even nuked all of the ads inside the Guardian app :)

I have 7 browsers installed and a VPN that blocks lots of domains (and prevents adverts from appearing inside apps).
I pick a browser and search engine according to whatever I'm searching for. Usually I'm in Firefox Beta, in private browsing mode, but I haven't rooted this phone so I can't do anything about the default Google bar at the top.
I haven't rooted as I'd rather get security updates frequently than root and have to manage that. Things like running my own VPN as an outbound firewall mean I'm OK about this.
