Startpage Privacy Protection is obviously based on EFF's Privacy Badger and does an okay job, although it's not as mighty as uBlock Origin, for example.

Though, what I find really irritating is that the addon apparently injects additional HTML elements into all websites for unknown reason; I suspect it's for analytics on startpage.com.

Since that can't be disabled in the settings, I don't use the addon anymore.

Thanks for trying our extension! Any HTML you might see is only used for one of two purposes: either to enable the Escape Route feature (Click Esc three times to blur the screen and four times to exit the page you’re on) or for Startpage to determine whether to show or hide promotional messaging about the extension on our homepage. No tracking whatsoever!
