Bots now make up 70% of Startpage traffic, up from 35% in 2024. They slow your searches and threaten free, private search. Here’s what we’re doing about it, what you might notice, and one thing we got wrong this week: startpage.com/privacy-please…

What we got wrong: from Oct 12, 9:32 PM to Oct 13, 5:25 PM CEST, a new rule wrongly blocked some real users, mostly on mobile. We’ve rolled it back and are adding broader testing so it doesn’t happen again. We’re sorry.

Your privacy remains our priority. We don’t build profiles, and your searches stay private. Still having trouble? Tell us here: support.startpage.com/hc/en-…

For years, Firefox users asked for Startpage. A billion+ private searches a year. One of their most requested search engines. Starting today, we're built into Firefox across five European countries. No extensions. No workarounds.

"I'm post privacy" Words you’ll never hear a billionaire say.

They taught everyone to ask what you’re hiding so no one asks what they’re collecting.

They call it “radical transparency" But describe perpetual surveillance that runs from cameras in your home to your phone, cars, drones, robots and satellites. “No one can hide” is not progress. It’s the threat.

Weirdest thing the internet normalized: letting companies watch everything you search
