Add Start page to google alternatives

[Ironwally]

Startpage uses the google search engine.
I suppose in that regard it can also be seen as an alternative frontend?

Wanted to say the same thing. Kinda strange that Startpage is not on there.

Isn't startpage like closed-source?

Isn't startpage like closed-source?

It's partially open source. Startpage devs have talked extensively on why they don't wanna open source the whole thing.

In addition to that, open source in this cause doesn't really mean that much. They don't require an account, you could use a vpn/tor and that's just google searches anyway (google still sees your searches even though they are anonymized. don't use google to search for illegal stuff)
