IMPORTANT UPDATE ON PERMISSION REQUEST REMOVAL
Over the last few days, Startpage has received valuable feedback regarding our recent extension update and valid concerns around our request to view browser tabs. 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/
We appreciate all feedback and ask that you continue to openly communicate with us. Please feel free to reach out directly by email at support@startpage.com, by Twitter @StartpageSearch, or on product review sites. We review these daily and look forward to hearing from you.

We appreciate your feedback. It has made an impact and we are actively pursuing other options to grab that URL without needing access to tabs. We’re sorry that we did not do more to alert new extension users beforehand. If you change your mind, you can continue to search in private with Startpage without granting permission to your tab data is by using the extension from our website using the URL below.

Until today, when it decided to take issue with my VPN and block me from searching until...whenever it decides to unblock me, I guess? It had me fill out a form, then said I'd still be blocked until whenever it decides to unblock me. Useless to me now, I guess. Bye!

2) Searches from the address bar default to Safe Search: Moderate and there's no way to change that.
Just use a bookmark instead or make Startpage your home page. - 5점 만점에 5점Firefox 사용자 18844418 님, 4달 전
- 5점 만점에 1점Firefox 사용자 18181735 님, 6달 전I was so excited to find this as an alternative to Google, but it's been taking up my searches with animated popups right in the way of my search, asking me to add them to my Ad-block Whitelist and to try their new AI tool.
It's actively getting in the way of searches and harming the user experience. I'm not a fan of DuckDuckGo's results and policies, but I'm switching back. - 5점 만점에 5점Firefox 사용자 19517792 님, 9달 전It seems to me that nearly all issues mentioned by reviews that are not 5 starts are not relevant anymore. Thanks for a great search engine that actually shows me results. On google, searching for "PCGarage free delivery" gets me an Emag result first, that isn't sponsored...how the heck does that work?...
- Cannot search from the address bar without my ISP seeing what I'm searching. Please keep the search terms OUT OF THE ADDRESS BAR when searching from the address bar with Startpage. Is there a way to manually configure a Startpage search string so the search terms do not populate the address bar- when searching from the address bar with Startpage? Thanks.
NEVERMIND: I'm getting hit with "Sponsored" BS a the top of my search results. Back to DDG. - 5점 만점에 5점narancasta 님, 일 년 전

- 5점 만점에 1점Firefox 사용자 13508883 님, 일 년 전I went to the startpage site because duckduckgo was having issues briefly, and I added the search add-on, the type that you used to get on mycroft, in case I ran into trouble like that again. When I did this, it surreptitiously went ahead and installed this full browser extension as well. The process was either without my consent, or made to look like I was consenting to the thing I actually wanted.
Go figure, sketchy behavior by the company that used to use Alex Jones as a poster boy. I'm ticking with Duckduckgo, but I was alwas going to. This just confirmed my feelings about Startpage.개발자 답글
일 년 전에 게시됨Thanks for caring about privacy. Our extension follows normal installation steps and requires consent. Nothing is installed until you confirm using the standard Firefox dialogs. - 5점 만점에 5점Firefox 사용자 7035236 님, 일 년 전
