- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch adhiwena, 2 jierren lynI like Startpage, but sadly, it's too slow for me. I guess it's because the server is in California and I'm in SEA. I wish you guys have a SEA server soon. Cheers!

2 jierren lyn pleatstWe're heard feedback like this before from people in your region. We have forwarded your feedback to our Product Team. Adding server locations in the APAC region isn't currently on the roadmap, but we’ll definitely consider it in the future.
Thanks for caring about privacy! - Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch laclac1, 2 jierren lynI thought this extension would allow me to customize the "startpage" search on the Firefox home page.
In particular, put the startpage home page in French because you can only have it in English without an extension.
But no ! the extension also does not allow you to have the Startpage search in French by default... it just changes the Firefox start screen as anyone can do without this extension by clicking in Firefox Settings/ home page.
Basically, this extension is absolutely useless. Doesn't add any functionality, nor fill any gaps that users may have. Too bad, I'll still have to keep Google which offers search in French by default... it's boring !
Edit: Thank you for your answer. The idea is not to give a bad rating for free, but to provide constructive elements so that you are better and I really appreciate that you answer (I am raising my rating for your very good support).
I am not talking about the interface but about the search.
When I type "Obama" on Google or DuckDuckGo, all the answers are in French. Because it detects that my browser or IP are in France and favors answers in French.
When I do the same thing on Startpage I only have answers in French. So I have to systematically force the search in French and for all searches.
So I would have really liked this extension to allow you to indicate once and for all to set the language of the search on the home page.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
2 jierren lyn pleatstThe extension is intended to make it easy to set Firefox's default search engine to Startpage, which we think it does pretty well.
Unless we're misreading you, what you're suggesting can be achieved by setting French as the preferred in language in Firefox (about:preferences#general) and doing the same in Startpage settings (https://www.startpage.com/do/settings).

J'ai appris que la société est détenue par System1, une entreprise spécialisée dans la collecte de données et le ciblage publicitaire.
Quelle cohérence ?

- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Kaqxar, 2 jierren lynThe extension works, but the site itself is trainwreck. It recurringly thinks I am a bot, asks some questions, I need to solve a captcha, then it still denies all services. So basically there is no point in using this extension, because the service behind it is unreliable.
Do not use it, there are other, more competent and privacy respecting search engines.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
2 jierren lyn pleatstSorry you haven't had a great experience using our service. Our service is generally very reliable. We are subjected to automated abuse and scraping on a daily basis, which can be very costly financially and in terms of system performance. Accordingly, strong anti-abuse measures are a necessity, and we continually work hard to improve them. False positives are occasionally a reality: in some instances, normal users will set off one or more of our rules and be asked to verify they are not a bot.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us at support@startpage.com if there is anything further you wish to discuss. - Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch p3whyte, 2 jierren lynIt worked for a couple of days. I liked it. The worst part was no way to completely turn off "Safe Search". But after a couple of days no matter what I searched for ALL search results came back with a "503 error" blank page. Uninstalled; might try again later...

If you decide to re-install and are still experiencing any issues, please contact us at support@startpage.com. - Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch Sketch56, 2 jierren lynStartpage, why in sin did you not add an '@' for your Search Shortcuts keyword? It's such a dumb decision that makes it harder to search for details about Startpage, and I already have it as my default search engine so it's redundant.
For those who may ask "why not just change the keyword?" For some ungodly reason, it doesn't remove the default keyword when you set a new keyword.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
2 jierren lyn pleatstIt's a great suggestion and will be included in a future version. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Carlisle Mike Wick, 2 jierren lyn

What good is privacy if we can't find anything to begin with? Quotations, plus symbols, and ampersands are all ignored, the only operator that works is the minus operator
Edit:
Well, some work, as for it working the same as bing that would be correct, because they don't work on bing either. As for google, in combination with verbatim mode they actually do work. On startpage it depends, the site: filetype: and intitle: operators work, as does the - operator, but the "" and + operators, which are essentially verbatim operators, are generally ignored entirely, which is extremely annoying tbhAntwurd ûntwikkeler
2 jierren lyn pleatstAdvanced searches on Startpage, including exact match, perform the same as on Google and Bing, which is to say that they work, but are not applied in 100% of searches. More information can be found here:
