I don't recommend startpage. It just uses Google's search engine and thus any results that Google wants to censor and not show will also be shown on startpage.

What do you think about qwant?

I use qwant, but find their searches to not be as relevant. Maybe because they are France based.

Never heard of Startpage, and if what you say is true then it sounds pointless. But one thing I'll say is that it's a great name. Duckduckgo will never be seen as a mainstream thing because its name is fucking stupid. I know that's a dumb reason but these things matter, and it will always be seen as frivolous because of it. They should just change the name.

I'm almost certain it's the other way around. That's why actually said it to begin with.

This is exactly correct. I'd go a step further and say startpage is only PART a subset of google results

btw, ixquick is the same as startpage

ddg, startpage, ixquick are all terrible. ecosia is bad

try metager.org

it's german and it works (for now. when they get good, then google will buy them secretly and make them terrible)
