I‘m not entirely satisfied with startpage either though. What we really need is a local search proxy that goes via Google/Bing however you like, e.g. 1) using clearnet without cookies and cleaning up links (Google, Startpage, Bing) 2) via Tor automatically falling back if you get captcha (with option to do the captcha if you don’t like results) 3) Like 1) except via some VPN/Proxy
The results from each source (or multiple) could be normalized and the local app can offer any kind of interface you like.
I’ll write it at some point, but if anyone wants to steal that idea — please do.
