As I said in my other comment[1], you might be interested in using !sp which gives you the same results without Google tracking

Startpage is owned by an adtech company now.

that doesn't change the fact that there are no trackers and the fact that it uses Google results

No, but it does mean that you are likely to use it without knowing when they do start tracking you. Because of course an adtech company will (and of course they will deny until the day they change it).

> Because of course an adtech company will

This is silly. 95% of what one can track on the front end can be done on the back end. If you hit Google's servers, you're being tracked. Period.
