Recension av Firefox-användare 5831045
Betygsatt 5 av 5
av Firefox-användare 5831045, för 7 år sedanThank's for deactivating browser tab permissions again. I update my vote from "bad" to "super".
Original comment:
'Access to all tabs' is a NoGo. You might not abuse it now but this could happen in the future without knowledge of the user. Your note that this is only for a comment after the successful installation does not pacify me. This is like leaving my home unlocked since I cannot see any evildoer right now. Please remove this permission ASAP.
I really like this extension, but now I will block any further update for it.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av TripM, för en månad sedanBroken since a couple of week or maybe 1-2 months ago because if I use it with a VPN it gives me 100 captcha checks a day. terrible terrible user experience
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 14151292, för en månad sedanWas using this just fine for a while. Haven't been bothered by AI nonsense, and the search results are decent. 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!
- Betygsatt 2 av 5av D_S, för 2 månader sedanConsidering one of their reps went online and stated they didn't use AI and they're pushing an AI feature,I have little choice but to believe they're being disingenuous in other ways.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Perkinelma, för 3 månader sedan1) Searching from the address bar reveals your search to your ISP
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. - Betygsatt 1 av 5av Tommi, för 3 månader sedanIn letzter Zeit sehr häufige Serverprobleme mit 404. Eine Suchmaschine, die man suchen muss ist Schrott.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 18181735, för 6 månader sedanI 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. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av Sara, för 6 månader sedanThis is the ONLY search engine that hasn't included clankers like Gemini or Duck.AI (PLEASE advertise this, this is a major thing for me). On top of that, it is functional, and cares about my privacy. It's the trifecta!
- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Firefox-användare 19517792, för 9 månader sedanIt 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?...
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av seeley, för 9 månader sedanCannot 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. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av narancasta, för ett år sedan

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 13508883, för ett år sedanI 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.Utvecklarens svar
postad för ett år sedanThanks for caring about privacy. Our extension follows normal installation steps and requires consent. Nothing is installed until you confirm using the standard Firefox dialogs. - Betygsatt 4 av 5av LuccaLuke, för ett år sedan
