Startpage
The Internet without tracking. A safer way to search and browse online.
Startpage is a private search engine that delivers Google search results without collecting, storing, or selling users' personal data or search history. It removes IP addresses from servers, blocks price trackers and retargeting ads, and offers an Anonymous View proxy to mask user identity while browsing other sites. It positions itself as a privacy-first alternative to mainstream search engines.
Startpage proxies Google search results through its own servers, stripping identifying information like IP addresses and blocking third-party trackers so users get quality results without being profiled.
