Startpage is only giving you resources based on your location. Startpage cannot do this because they do not store your previous queries and clicks. While is a great read it talks about a much more invasive form of bubbling: a bubble created on previous search queries and clicks. They then promise not to store this or give it to third parties, they do not promise not to use it to give you better search results. Whether you like it or not, when you use them to search you give them your IP address. Startpage has never claimed not to do the first. This is about the different in using your location for better results or storing your location for tracking. These can be done without storing your IP address. Targeted search results are something completely different from the issue you raised at first. Your “proof” talks about targeted search results. It means they know about Tor and stay in contact with the people behind the Tor project.
It also does not mean their privacy policy will be changed. This does not mean you cannot use their service through Tor. When they see something that looks like a proxy it very probably is Tor.Īlso note that Startpage has officially requested to be removed from the Tor Browser Bundle (). The reason they are calling out to Tor users is because Startpage is the default browser in the Tor browser bundle. This does not change anything about Startpage’s privacy policy. If this is still happening for you I would recommend you ask for them to reopen the ticket.
The Tor ticket () about Startpage has been closed 8 months ago.
