And the only information provided to Google is the search term Google doesn't know anything about me, and it doesn't know what I'm clicking on. I'm no expert on this stuff, but I don't think the writer of that article has a clue what he's talking about.Įxample: "Startpage displays advertisements by the same search engines in the same page as the search results." So? "This provides almost the same information to search engines as they would get if you would do the search on their own page and negates all the effort in scrapping results." What?! Displaying search results (including advertisements) to me doesn't give any information to the search engine that was done when the search was initiated. I've been using Ixquick/Startpage for years with absolutely no problems. Then please someone explain to me why, and if it's still true 10 years later.

If you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines, including Google, do retain this information for some time and it's important, for example, that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act and it is possible that all that information could be made available to the authorities If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place The only arguments given to support this in this discussion are from this old article from 2009

So bing is better than google for instance.
