BEWARE! Startpage was sold to a pay-per-click behavioral ad company.

StartPage wirbt für Datenschutz, wurde aber von einer Werbefirma (System1) aufgekauft. Ich rate von der Benutzung ab.

Absolute garbage - can't use Startpage.com in browser after installing. BREAKS STARTPAGE IMHO

01/18/2020
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.

owned by an advertising company. no trust

Has become worse over time.

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

Been a long term user of Startpage. I did NOT expect this to happen! I have removed this add on and. of course, I do not use and will not ever use Startpage again. The previous review posted a source link, as I cant stress this enough for people who are still using Startpage or considering to do so, please reconsider!

I will sign my review by posting the source link too: https://reclaimthenet.org/startpage-buyout-ad-tech-company/

Been bought by a click advertising company you've flushed your integrity down the drain. Go figure why I uninstalled.

Dans l’ensemble pas trop mal, mais je suis déçu qu’il me demande de l’installer alors que c’est déjà fait.
En ce qui concerne les Préférences, une fois modifié, enregistré il ne les conserve pas du tout, quand on redémarre Firefox tout est remis par défaut.
Je songe à m'en débarrasser et voir ce que je peux trouver, mais certainement pas Qwant par contre.

Look how active Startpage have been replying to the comments and questions, and now its been totally quiet here.
Startpage, who promised "real privacy" have after all this years partnered with the ad-company System1 (I think anyone understand that they are anything but privacy friendly) something i did not expect to happen, not with Startpage, but i (and many others) was wrong.

Dear Startpage, you proved yourself being a scam. Users trust is hard to gain, now when letting your true shady fake face shine, you dont deserve any trust whatsoever.
