Startpage

"When you search, your query is automatically stripped of unnecessary metadata including your IP address and other identifying information. We send the anonymized search query to Google and return the search results to you. We don’t log your searches."

"Our search result pages may include a small number of clearly labeled "sponsored links," which generate revenue and cover our operational costs. Those links are retrieved from platforms such as Google AdSense. In order to enable the prevention of click fraud, some non-identifying system information is shared, but because we never share personal information or information that could uniquely identify you, the ads we display are not connected to any individual user."

"Startpage's video search results are delivered in full privacy, provided by YouTube API Services. When clicking on video links, you will be redirected to YouTube, and subject to their YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy."

"In 2011, Startpage received the European Privacy Seal, a European Union–sponsored initiative that indicates compliance with EU laws and regulations on data security and privacy through a series of design and technical audits. It was re-certified in 2013 and 2015. The company has also completely ended the recording of user IP addresses since January 2009. Because Startpage is based in the Netherlands, it is also "not subject to US laws like the Patriot Act, and cannot be forced to comply with US dragnet surveillance programs, like PRISM." Startpage has also contributed €20,000 to NOYB, the non-profit organization founded by Max Schrems, which is committed to launching strategic court cases and media initiatives in support of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation."

"The company also provides a stand-alone proxy service, Startpage.com Proxy, which is incorporated into the Startpage search engine. This feature, known as Anonymous View since 2018, allows users the option to open all search results via proxy."

"Since Startpage.com does not collect user data, it does not serve targeted advertising based on user data history. The company generates revenue from its search engine by providing contextual advertising based on the keyword used to perform a search."

This same has happened to Opera. Has Google/YouTube reworked something, to bypass the ad-blockers?

OK.

I'm using the Home button for else. I'm looking forward to the new version.

THX.

Any plans?

This chrome://settings/search is clear to kindergarten kids.

The idea is to change the DEFAULT SEARCH ENGINE working directly from the address/URL bar (now only Epic or Yahoo!).

Any news on this feature request?

Couldn't the Open Build Service help you with porting to Linux?

Other systems (such as BSD, Solaris, Haiku, Amiga...) support would also be welcome.

WineHQ may help, but native is always the best option.
