Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
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.
The Startpage private search extension:
- Does NOT save, share, or sell your personal or search engine data
- Doesn’t drop 3rd party trackers and cookies like other search engines
- Ensures unprofiled search results, guaranteeing the same information for everyone in the world

As others have noted, this extension's value proposition is limited in that it doesn't offer much (if anything) beyond adding StartPage as a Search Engine manually. The only feature this extension provides beyond the simple convenience of adding StartPage and making it the default search engine is that it sets the search mode to POST, so that the search query does not appear in the URL, which improves privacy against ISP and corporate snooping considerably. The problem, however, is that POST mode is enabled only in the Vivaldi browser, and not in Chrome, Chromium, or Firefox. Furthermore, there appears to be no option to change this behavior. If there is some limitation in the aforementioned browsers that prevents POST mode from being used, this fact should be stated, clearly, as a limitation of the browsers and not the extension!
works flawless and adds some privacy
Easy to use and appreciate being able to search and browse results with privacy. This is great if you are searching for flights and want to get the best prices. Startpage is also based in Europe and users are protected by GDPR.
I love Startpage but this extension is of little value, unless you can't be bothered to manually add Startpage as a search engine. Note that when Startpage is added as a search engine in Chrome—either manually or through the extension—it will transmit search terms in the URL query component. This may be slightly less secure than searching directly from the Startpage site, in which case nothing is exposed in the URL. Be aware that this extension also replaced the new tab page with one that is almost indistinguishable but minus the default search bar and any customized favorites (including the ability to customize them).
Easy to install and easy to use. No issues at all.
