This search engine extension protects users from being tracked while allowing them to search the web in complete privacy.
Startpage is a private search engine with no tracking, storing, or selling users’ search history. To ensure you have “always-on” search privacy AND to search Startpage directly from your URL bar, we recommend installing our search engine extension.
The Startpage private search extension:
– Does NOT save, share, or sell your personal or search engine data
– Delivers Google search results
– Doesn’t drop 3rd party trackers and cookies like other search engines
– Ensures unprofiled search results, guaranteeing the same information for everyone in the world
– Allows users to browse search results in private with the “Anonymous View” proxy feature
– Protects worldwide users with European and Dutch privacy legislation
– Is GDPR and CCPA compliant
Industry reviews:
– TechRadar: “Startpage’s ‘Anonymous View’ link …makes it incredibly easy for users to visit websites while protecting their privacy.”
– Bloomberg: “Startpage doesn’t track you — it respects and guarantees your privacy.”
– FastCompany: “This alternative search engine is basically Google without the privacy headaches.”
– Fox News: “Startpage is designed to retain your privacy. The engine doesn’t collect data, doesn’t keep tabs on your movements, and it isn’t owned by a gigantic corporation.”

startpage is usless all i ever get when i do a search with startpage is captcha
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
Really useful engine!
Awesome!
sehr gut
Sehr gut!
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.
Search results are only 20 results a page. More results with other search providers. MY EXTENSIONS AND ANTIVIRUS DO NOT PRE-WARN ME OF DANGEROUS WEBSITES on Startpage.
I had this extension before changing my browser to Brave. Am not sure what crashed the computer but something caused the HD to clobber the OS. Ended up reformatting the HD, and after wiping the drive and reinstalling the OS, so far, so good. Found out that Chrome had installed a bunch things that I didn’t know about, and only found this out because of the crash. Since disabling the bulk of those additions, and wish I had documented them, the bulk of my JUNK email is gone. Was getting 250-300 email JUNK messages daily, and the number is now 3 to 5. Be careful what you do with your Chrome browser. Just sayin. In addition to the crashed HD, and all the JUNK mail from Google, there was continual UNKNOWN restarts for unexplained reasons. This machine has only been restarted once since the latest issue got resolved. Startpage.com stopped working with everything shortly before the major crash that caused the wipe and reinstall. Am thinking it was the browsers fighting with my privacy. So, am glad to see Startpage has returned, and hope this is not the reason for the CRASH. July 2020 has been memorable due to all of this. Am a little disturbed that Google is the one that is going to post this review. Oh well. As a reminder, Chrome is set to SHARE ALL of YOUR Interests with unknown email scams.
is a best
Зато не Гугл.
merci beaucoup j’aime cette page pour des recherche comme des news sur nos stars .
Les résultats me semblent pertinents mais pourquoi le navigateur Brave bloque 3 trackers sur la page d’accueil si c’est anonyme ? Il semble que quelque chose est contradictoire.
Funktioniert hervorragend.
I mean, it doesn’t state Opera compatibility, but I was hoping to at least have automatic searches from the search box (not omni), bit sad, violins, please. 😉
It’s great for chrome, but I prefer to set things manually, there.
My only issue with an otherwise wonderful search tool is that, when used with Torch browser, it allows the New Page function to create an override with another search engine in the main view, which gets the focus when the New Page loads, and thus requiring an extra click to get the focus back to the omnibox and thus use SP instead of e.g. Bing.
This is quoting your own description page-
“Take back your online privacy by using Startpage.com as your default search engine.
This privacy extension changes your default search engine to Startpage.com. Startpage offers high quality search results without any trackers or ads that follow you.”
Does not actually set the default search engine as Startpage.com, default search engine remains 100% unchanged…. AKA this extension is useless as it does not even follow its own description.
As others have noted, this extension’s value proposition is limited in that it doesn’t offer much (if anything) beyond adding StartPage as a Search Engine manually. The only feature this extension provides beyond the simple convenience of adding StartPage and making it the default search engine is that it sets the search mode to POST, so that the search query does not appear in the URL, which improves privacy against ISP and corporate snooping considerably. The problem, however, is that POST mode is enabled only in the Vivaldi browser, and not in Chrome, Chromium, or Firefox. Furthermore, there appears to be no option to change this behavior. If there is some limitation in the aforementioned browsers that prevents POST mode from being used, this fact should be stated, clearly, as a limitation of the browsers and not the extension!
works flawless and adds some privacy
Easy to use and appreciate being able to search and browse results with privacy. This is great if you are searching for flights and want to get the best prices. Startpage is also based in Europe and users are protected by GDPR.
I love Startpage but this extension is of little value, unless you can’t be bothered to manually add Startpage as a search engine.
Note that when Startpage is added as a search engine in Chrome—either manually or through the extension—it will transmit search terms in the URL query component. This may be slightly less secure than searching directly from the Startpage site, in which case nothing is exposed in the URL.
Be aware that this extension also replaced the new tab page with one that is almost indistinguishable but minus the default search bar and any customized favorites (including the ability to customize them).
Easy to install and easy to use. No issues at all.
Like it!
en essaie
Finally found a search engine that
A) is a quality search engine worth using (e.g. NOT duckduckgo)
B) protects my privacy
Nice.
