Startpage – private search engine

So is the concept that they are providing Google-like results with the privacy of Duck Duck Go? I have never had any issue with using Duck Duck Go.

Hi veenified. StartPage offers actual Google search results in privacy. Google never sees you and neither do we.

We never collect personal information about our users so you break free from the "filter bubble." See: https://dontbubble.me/

Plus, we offer a free proxy with every search result so you can also view web results pages in privacy.

DuckDuckGo is also a solid search engine. We are glad you use private search, whether you use StartPage.com or another option. If we all start taking small steps to protect our privacy, we can reform the "surveillance economy"!

Sometimes DDG doesn't give the most relevant results; to work around this, if I haven't found something by using DDG, I'll stick a !s in front of the query to check StartPage instead.

Any position works
