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.vaultpit.io/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 [email protected], by Twitter @StartpageSearch, or on product review sites. We review these daily and look forward to hearing from you.

Your opinion and feedback are important to us. We do our best balancing ease of use for new users and maintaining legacy functionality for our current users. We understand your decision regarding the extension. One simple solution to continue to search in private with Startpage is to manually set it as your default search engine in Firefox (instructions below). Moreover, we’d like to apologize for not alerting you before the change. We’re sorry and have learned an important lesson. Please feel free to share more at [email protected].

- 评分 1 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 13508883， 3 个月前I 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.开发者回应
发布于 3 个月前Thanks for caring about privacy. Our extension follows normal installation steps and requires consent. Nothing is installed until you confirm using the standard Firefox dialogs. - 评分 5 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 7035236， 3 个月前

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.
The web continues it's death march towards increasing disutility开发者回应

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.... - 评分 1 / 5来自 c3Vja2l0ZHJ5， 6 个月前
- 评分 1 / 5来自 Goooog le Morons， 6 个月前even 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...
