StartPage - Private Searching
Search engines like Google and Bing are great for finding what we seek on the Internet, but in exchange, these companies are able to gather lots of valuable marketing information on us.
In many cases, the customized search results are actually very helpful, but in light of all of the privacy issues these days, lots of you are looking for a more private way to search the web.
Well a website called Startpage understands this desire for privacy and offers what they claim is the world’s most private search engine.
Search engines typically log your IP address, what you searched for, what site you came from and which link you clicked on in the results.
Startpage records none of these things, but still allows you to leverage the power of Google.
They act as a security blanket between you and Google, so it’s like a Harry Potter invisibility cloak for searching on the Internet.
