Good alternatives are still DuckDuckgo (is subject to US-law) or with regards to European data protection regulations, the French search machine Qwant.

Startpage cannot be considered protecting your data anymore, since they are sold to system1 - a company earning money with personalized advertisement.
DO NOT USE THIS SEARCHENGINE!

1) Results are 500x better than competitors like Duck Duck Go.

2) Under EU laws, they'd have to notify you of any major privacy/data changes, so if the System1 connection was an issue we would know about it.
- They have also undergone extensive third party audits, and will probably do so in the future, unlike many other private search engines
- They have published a data flow diagram as well: https://support.startpage.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1276/0/what-is-the-startpage-privacy-guarding-data-flow

100% recommend StartPage.

Habe startpage lange benutzt. Leider wurde es verkauft an ein Datensammelunternehmen! Sehr traurig. Wollen die ehemaligen Betreiber, die uns mit Datenschutz angeworben haben, mit dem Geld für den Verkauf jetzt glücklich werden oder wollen sie nur nach Kohle stinken???

我想要中文设置页面，谢谢，爱你们哟！

BEWARE! Startpage was sold to a pay-per-click behavioral ad company.

StartPage wirbt für Datenschutz, wurde aber von einer Werbefirma (System1) aufgekauft. Ich rate von der Benutzung ab.
