- Rated 4 out of 5by Briadd-on, 8 months agoSeems to work as intended, haven't had any issues with it. I've been using it since November 2022 on Firefox and before then on Chromium.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Pixelcode, 3 years agoStartpage Privacy Protection is obviously based on EFF's Privacy Badger and does an okay job, although it's not as mighty as uBlock Origin, for example.
Though, what I find irritating is that the addon apparently injects additional HTML elements into all websites for unknown reason. Edit: As Startpage said, that's for Escape Route or hiding their own promotional messages on startpage.com, which is fine.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThanks for trying our extension! Any HTML you might see is only used for one of two purposes: either to enable the Escape Route feature (Click Esc three times to blur the screen and four times to exit the page you’re on) or for Startpage to determine whether to show or hide promotional messaging about the extension on our homepage. No tracking whatsoever! - Rated 4 out of 5by mr-scientific, 3 years agoThis extension is really good, but one feature request. Can you set it so that the search bar uses post instead of get? I typically use the firefox search bar to search for things, so even if the engine tries to use post within itself, the browser's search bar still uses get searches instead of post.
