av aths, för 5 år sedanIt seriously shows ads first in the search results. I always need to scroll past the ads to reach the actual results. It refuses to show the search results & gets broken, when ads-block or similar extensions like no-script are in action. Quite unexpected behavior considering the name "private search engine".

postad för 4 år sedanThanks for trying Startpage. Ads are how we are able to provide a free private service. It might interest you to know that the team has been hard at work overhauling and improving the search experience. Among those improvements launching this month will be a reduced-ad experience on mobile.
From time to time, we do test the performance of our search results with extensions like the ones you mention and we haven’t found any major issues. In responding to your comment, we tested with several, including NoScript, and were able to pull up results just fine. With NoScript, the menus above the results disappeared, but that is to be expected unless you add us as a trusted domain. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at support@startpage.com.

Verifying your request... " every time you try to search. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av Arthur Prazeres, för 2 månader sedan
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av TripM, för 3 månader 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 3 månader 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 4 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 5 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 5 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 8 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 8 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 ett år 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 ett år 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.
