Startpage — Private Search Engine Extension

Install \"Startpage - Private Search Engine extension\" to set your default search engine to Startpage Search, allowing you to search the web in complete privacy without being tracked.

Startpage is a private search engine with no tracking, storing, or selling users’ search history. To ensure you have \"always-on\" search privacy AND to search Startpage directly from your URL bar, we recommend installing our search engine extension.
