    I did an extensive analysis of https://www.startpage.com using the UBlock Origin, UMatrix, Disconnect, Privacy Badger, Cookie Autodelete and HTTPS Everywhere Firefox addons. Result: I found that cookies, images, css, media, scripts ... everything, came from one domain only: startpage.com. Not a single script for any other domain (including Google), no tracking cookies, no analytics, no ad related JavaScript, no CDNs, no tags, beacons ... NOTHING, only startpage.com.
    I did my "homework" and now I can believe on what I see, startpage is currently CLEAN as it always was.

    "Startpage" ist fast wie Google nur bekommt man hier 100% bessere Ergebnisse ohne Tracking und lästige Werbung!

    Love StartPage, allows me to have the best in search results without the tracking. IMO, better than DuckDuckGo, and other alternatives that have partial IP, DNS leakage, etc.

    Just reading about the anonymous view and its explained so good, how the proxy anonymous view makes sites not knowing who you are. This explain can be found on information after clicking anonymous view beside the search result. So now i use this option and it have helped me even when i clicked a website that was suspicious, not what i expected when i opened, but since i use the proxy anonymous i increase my privacy drastic.

    Definitly earned my trust! 10 stars if that was possible

    Have used other search engine pages in the past, now on Startpage - couldnt ask for me - privacy (yes, real privacy) and great search results. Thank you so much! From one of the grateful users.

    Absolutely the best search engine out there!

    Switched from DDG over to Startpage. Nothing wrong with DDG but Startpage is just better, easier to access pictures in search and overall better search results. I also like the Anonymous View proxy a lot. Based out of the US they have probably the most privacy friendly laws you can ask for.

    Just the fact that the permissions for this extension got updated, and now dont even need to access browser tabs, proves Startpage are truly genuine committed to the strong privacy it offers.

    Thank you so much!

    Glad you guys removed the "Access all tabs" permission. Now you earned the 5 stars again.

    Superior search product and results over competitors. This product gives me peace of mind all activity stays private behind the scenes. Would recommend this extension to anyone that is wanting to protect their privacy without sacrificing their data, identity etc.

We realize that users understandably would prefer not to allow such permissions. As privacy advocates committed to serving our community, the team made it our highest priority to address this issue.

    Effective immediately our extension will no longer request access to browser tabs for existing and new users. See version update here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/startpage-privacy-search-engin/versions/
