- by aths, 3 months agoRated 1 out of 5It seriously shows ads first in the search results. I always need to scroll past the ads to reach the actual results. It refuses to show the search results & gets broken, when ads-block or similar extensions like no-script are in action. Quite unexpected behavior considering the name "private search engine".

- by Dark Thoughts, a year agoRated 1 out of 5Having to solve a freaking captcha for every damn search, because I am using a VPN and / or private mode, is absolutely not reasonable.

- by MYOB, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5WARNING...SUSPECT SCaMMER/SPAMMER ADD ON....Works maybe one is a dozen times otherwise a stupid message appears asking how you are 'working'....personally think it is either a spamming system or a scamming system and have now blocked it from our devices. Also have doubts about authenticity of claims that user data is secure.

- by Flume, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5Starts to block questions from TOR or open proxies, just like google. No longer useable for me and i no longer trust them. Now owned by a advertisment agency.
- by DailySurfer, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5WARNING! An advertising company called System1 has now huge impact on data collection of each user using Startpage because System1 has become majority shareholder. Do not use this search machine anymore!

Good alternatives are still DuckDuckgo (is subject to US-law) or with regards to European data protection regulations, the French search machine Qwant. - by fromCharCode, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5Startpage cannot be considered protecting your data anymore, since they are sold to system1 - a company earning money with personalized advertisement.
DO NOT USE THIS SEARCHENGINE! - by Firefox user 13869129, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5Habe startpage lange benutzt. Leider wurde es verkauft an ein Datensammelunternehmen! Sehr traurig. Wollen die ehemaligen Betreiber, die uns mit Datenschutz angeworben haben, mit dem Geld für den Verkauf jetzt glücklich werden oder wollen sie nur nach Kohle stinken???

- by Nero, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5StartPage wirbt für Datenschutz, wurde aber von einer Werbefirma (System1) aufgekauft. Ich rate von der Benutzung ab.
- by dalgadoq, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5Absolute garbage - can't use Startpage.com in browser after installing. BREAKS STARTPAGE IMHO
- by Firefox user 15491152, 2 years agoRated 1 out of 5Been a long term user of Startpage. I did NOT expect this to happen! I have removed this add on and. of course, I do not use and will not ever use Startpage again. The previous review posted a source link, as I cant stress this enough for people who are still using Startpage or considering to do so, please reconsider!
