Anyone using Startpage here,?

I was using Startpage as default search engine off and on, but I do like the ideal.

@Sphinx I use it as my second default search engine after duckduckgo. I like its anonymous mode. I mainly use it for my google search results instead of directly using google. It also tracks my search query not the browsing history. But i have a problem with ads, it also shows ads, i think it is not targated right.............?

@thunderdragon900 i never know that they serve ads. Could you sent me some footage ?

@ravenclaw

Does it happened to you that when using startpage tell you the server is working on it and then refresh or wait a sec and try this page again?

@Sphinx yep. It does sometimes especially when i connected to a vpn service.

@Sphinx I do. I prefer it over DuckDuckGo. Better results (as it is just a Google's proxy). Still, does not resolve the problem of everything being in Google's hands 😕

@Sphinx searx for the win
Searx.be or searx.ninja
They are better.

@vitali64sur

Thanks I'm using duckduckgo most time on my phone because when I using vpn using Google has lot of "ip conflict verification"
