When I bought extra space for GMail, I got logged into a "google account" that I'm logged into even when I do searches. Searches are much slower logged in. And I'm not sure if I can log out without logging out of GMail. Solution: Use http://duckduckgo.com for search.

Note: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/di5rn3/startpage_is_now_owned_by_an_advertising_company/ … Although its debatable as to whether they're really showing targeted ads or just ads based on query.

Hi Surya, we get the concern. We only use contextual advertising (ads based on your search query, not personal data). We don't collect any personal data, therefore we can't share your personal data. More info: https://www.startpage.com/blog/privacy-awareness/advertising-respects-privacy/ …

http://startpage.com seems to be significantly slower than http://google.com here in India. Poor server distribution in Asia maybe?

Here in Europe too

Hi Seyon, like many sites, search engines generate income from ads. Startpage, as a private search engine, generates its income from contextual advertising (ads based on your search query, not your personal data).

it gave me search results that are worse than duckduckgo. So I don't really think it's actual google results.
