por laclac1, hace un añoI 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.

publicado el hace un añoThe 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).

- Se valoró con 1 de 5por Usuario de Firefox 13508883, hace 3 mesesI 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.Respuesta del desarrollador
publicado el hace 3 mesesThanks for caring about privacy. Our extension follows normal installation steps and requires consent. Nothing is installed until you confirm using the standard Firefox dialogs. - Se valoró con 4 de 5por LuccaLuke, hace 3 meses

- Se valoró con 2 de 5por Usuario de Firefox 14375826, hace 6 mesesI had high hopes but it's just another feeding trough for the mouthbreathing contingent. The first result is always a BIG yt video, which seems to be impervious to UBO's element picker/zapper. this can be removed by blocking scripting but then startpage itself becomes nearly unusable without JS enabled. Image search basically breaks.

- Se valoró con 4 de 5por icamefortheshow, hace 6 mesesDefinitely better than DuckDuckGo, not sure why DDG gets baked into FF but I have to install an add-on for SP. Guessing DDG is paying to be included??
However while Startpage is my "go first" search choice I end up at Google more than I would like [~30-40%] because SP is not there yet as far as the results go. SP is just not as good Google yet.
Technical topics tend to be where SP struggles the most and the main problem is that Startpage is giving too much weight to older pages. Trying to trouble shoot software and most of the results are from ~2018 happens way too much. Changing "Any time" to "Past year" helps but that can be too short of a time period.
The other main issue is search modifiers are inconsistent, for example a negative modifier Windows -Microsoft may or may not work and the same with using quotes as in "Windows for my house" is a coin flip if I am going to only get results with the exact match or not.
Keep working on it as I would be happy if I never had to use Google again.... - Se valoró con 1 de 5por c3Vja2l0ZHJ5, hace 6 meses
- Se valoró con 1 de 5por Goooog le Morons, hace 6 meseseven if web interface is available, any search for any query every time returns NO RESULTS.
absolutely useless stuff for 'search engine' which simply stopped working and isn't being fixed for several months at least.
but what a good thing it was before...
