I have been using StartPage. Does anyone have any information on whether or not they are capturing or sharing user information?

They don’t share it, but the results are from Google. The ads are from Google, but they are blinded.

Startpage was bought by an advertising company about a year ago. I don’t know how compromised they have become because of that but I no longer use startpage.

I have been using DuckDuckGo for some time. The fact that evil google takes 3rd party cookies and exploits them is no surprise and of concern, but that is google being evil, as always.

I have also been using Qwant lately it seems ok. You might try that.

I love Startpage.

They are based in the Netherlands and admit they use google somewhat, but I don’t know about tracking.

I have come to the realization that NOTHING escapes the giant high tech people, but I try to minimize their intrusion.
