Switched from DDG over to Startpage. Nothing wrong with DDG but Startpage is just better, easier to access pictures in search and overall better search results. I also like the Anonymous View proxy a lot. Based out of the US they have probably the most privacy friendly laws you can ask for.

Just the fact that the permissions for this extension got updated, and now dont even need to access browser tabs, proves Startpage are truly genuine committed to the strong privacy it offers.

Thank you so much!
