I started using startpage a few weeks ago becuase I am sick to death of the never ending "Read google privacy policiy, which means either you let them know everything about you or dont use google.
I am just an average guy who searches the net for things that interest me, history, photography, news, and delving into things I dont know much about.
I have found Startpage pretty good, it may be a bit slower but then you are asking Startpage to ask google so thats not a surprise, anyway it is only a matter of seconds if that. The results are to me very satisfying.
One thing I missed was google maps so I have to go to google if I want them but other than that I cannot fault Startpage. I am not a nerd just someone who users a seach engine reasonably regularly. I run it with Firefox and both give me pleasing results. It is nice not to forever having google want me to agree to yet another privacy update before I can continue what I am doing.
I think more and more people need to start reviewing their on line presence, the old saying if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear is way out of date.
