Startpage — Private Search Engine

Normally love SP UNTIL got kicked off today because I use it too much???? Said I (resembled) a bot. Ha! retired 75 yr old artist looking at news, YT and FB. Suspicious behavior for a search engine that advertises itself as, "the world's most private...." Are you measuring me SP?

I like the search engine itself, but this extension is more or less useless: you can't set a custom url to save your settings without using cookies, but that's the only thing this extension would've been good for. It's a great idea, but it's a shame they didn't think of this.

I could not set it as my default search engine on a Chromebook. I'm going to compare search results, but will probably favor DuckDuckGo because of its private interface to AI.

Works in address bar, but New Tab does nothing - New Tab has blank page and no url. Have to instal New Tab Redirect extension.

Startpage is a decent private search engine, I've found it to be slower than DuckDuckGo but the quality of results (at least for me) is much better, and I'm willing to trade a little bit of speed for better results. However, one downside on Chrome specifically is that it changes the New Tab page to an empty page with nothing but shortcuts to your most frequently visited sites, and this page cannot be customised. This is the default new tab page for when you change your search engine to something other than Google on Chrome. I think Startpage should have a custom New Tab page for Chrome which has a Startpage search bar and contains some new tab customisation options - DuckDuckGo has one so there's no reason why Startpage can't. Writing this review in the hopes developers will see it and consider adding one. I will update my review to 5 stars if this happens - thank you!

Really enjoy the search engine. Been using it for a good while

it primitive .. not working and when click button, redirecting their website.

Extension works for me in Brave. Search bar becomes Startpage which is the purpose.

Poor search results. Compare search results for 'DSCP_fix_enable' on startpage and ddg/brave/google/bing. I appreciate privacy, but quality results are a base requirement.

It's good and light, but does not have AI integration, like Brave search for example. An autogenerated AI response is a must because it can usually be the answer to what you are searching.

Useless, changes nothing. Read a good dozen articles including their own site and nothing adds this as a search engine in the top bar or anything. The only way you can use startpage is to manually visit the site. Did not used to be this way but just tried this on chrome on 2 linux systems and windows 10 with identical useless results.

This plugin doesn't work.

Today, there are barely any search engines that don't track the user. This is the best search engine that I've used. It's privacy without sacrificing search result quality!

I have a new laptop and I was able to download the extensioin for Startpage "search engine," but can't find Startpage "privacy protection," I have it on my old laptop but fr some reason I can't find it.

Remove all have installed it immediately, not enough it's not private it is stealing your cookies and sessions and no one knows how they operate it then

its give a new and unique search result with an effective privacy policies :as they claim in the privacy policies

Love this search engine!

works great

Great results, but safesearch works oddly and always turns on by default (im not a wierdo I swear), and the images are bad

Most useless extension I've ever seen it does exactly nothing in chromium

I've tried an other, well known, privacy centered search engine but the search results were just subpar (for my needs), Startpage gives me much better results and has similar privacy protections.

Easy extension to set up search without tracking or search history.

If you have connection problems after installing this connection, check your settings that you are not using a proxy. It seems that the extension allows the advertiser AnonymX which slams you into a limiting VPN. That's too bad.. I like StartPage.. I don't know how closely affiliated this extension is to the site.

Lacks a custom date search. Also, only 10 results per page is asinine! It's one of the things Google does have, which prevents me from switching to Startpage. Add a custom date search and 100 results and it's 5 stars.

Seit Jahren nutze ich Startpage und Startmail. Das Startmail etwas kostet stört mich nicht, denn mit dem Ergebnis bin ich sehr zufrieden. Seit der Nutzung von Startmail habe ich nicht mehr eine Werbemail bzw. sonstige Mail-Belästigungen erhalten. Das ist mir allemal ein paar € im Jahr wert.

not working.

not working.

Ich benutze startpage.com schon sehr lange und bin überzeugt von der Seite. Schade, dass google nur auf Kommerz aus ist.

Muito bom.

Startpage has been my preferred choice for a couple of years now. I use on Linux boxes and MacOS.

The extensions works in changing your search engine, but offers no other functionality that I can tell. I would like the ability to use startpage custom URL for the extension, as changing settings is impossible with disabled cookies

Es excelente, ayuda que la navegación por la web sea más segura y privada. No recopila tus datos, eso es un punto a favor.

seeks to “gather as much data as possible” which is not how a truely private search engine works, and their parent company used to distribute spyware and malware/adware before changing their name to something else, stay away from this addon, dont use it.
