Startpage.com: Privacy-oriented search engine

Made an account just to say this, search results are good, maybe better than DDG, cant say for sure. Made couple of searches and results are very relevant to what I am searching. And it's faster than DDG, at least for me. I like it.UI is nice too, clean AF. I don't care much for the ocean cleaning part to be honest, yes shame on me. I guess I am cynical since some companies push those altruistic stuff to advertise themselves. Don't mean no ill, it's great what you're doing. Considering using at as my main search engine. Do you proxy exact results from Bing or are the results managed before showing to user?

Just searched 4chan, no direct link to 4chan in first page, only "about" it.

Hi. Thank you! I try to keep the UI clean and simple. It's nice to hear somebody appreciates that.

Regarding results, I wrote an answer to that question here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25717814

That 4chan results page is embarrassing indeed. Currently many things in the pipeline, but will fix.

If you find any quirks, my email is in my profile.

Thank you to you too! I think folks at r/privacy r/privacytoolsio would be interested in this, could bring some more users.
