Same story, same message. Clear you cache and force javascript off, then 
reload that page. The header contains 3 javascript tags and one 
stylesheet metalink:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        var _msgs = [{ id: "001", NoT: true, exDt: "10/10/2011", apls: 
10, msg: "<span style='font-weight:700;color:#555555;'>The most private 
and secure search engine. Please help spread the word.</span>"}];
        try {
            for (var i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
                var iinit = new Image();
                iinit.src = "https://q" + i.toString() + 
".qrobe.it/init.gif";
            }
            var iinit2 = new Image();
            iinit2.src = "https://tam" + i.toString() + 
".qrobe.it/init.gif";
        } catch (e) { }
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" 
src="/scripts/v-3.0.10/jquery_min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" 
src="/scripts/v-3.1.5/stm-rWer_r.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" 
href="/css/v-1.1.8/qrobe-m.css" />


The body has a noscript tag, activating the said message when javascript 
is off:

<noscript>
  <div style='text-align: left; background-color: #fff; width: 580px; 
height: 300px; padding: 7px;'>
    <h3>Javascript</h3>

trust.
