Startpage (search engine)

Startpage is a search engine based on privacy. Unlike DuckDuckGo, it is based in the Netherlands, thus subject to the GDPR.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Unlike DuckDuckGo, it saves cookies very scarcely. Themes (Themes, Promotional Messages, Server Regions, etc.) can be saved using either cookies or by updating the default search link.
 * 2) It does not save IP addresses
 * 3) It has a built-in proxy on the website, named Anonymous View, allowing you to access any website without tracking to your computer.
 * 4) It even has its own mail service, Startmail, however it is not free, but relatively cheap; especially for what it offers.
 * 5) Local and GDPR privacy laws must be followed, meaning your data is safe
 * 6) Even downloading images from the website are proxied through the servers
 * 7) It favors websites that are more used and reliable (gov -> more reliable -> more used)

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Similarly, to DuckDuckGo, it can be either bad, or straight up garbage than finding your results on Google.
 * 2) It blocks proxies and TOR nodes, causing privacy issues.
 * 3) Its ads are not accessible using Anonymous View, meaning from there, Startpage is no longer able to protect your identity.
