IMPORTANT UPDATE ON PERMISSION REQUEST REMOVAL
Over the last few days, Startpage has received valuable feedback regarding our recent extension update and valid concerns around our request to view browser tabs. We realize that users understandably would prefer not to allow such permissions. As privacy advocates committed to serving our community, the team made it our highest priority to address this issue.
Effective immediately our extension will no longer request access to browser tabs for existing and new users. See version update here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/startpage-privacy-search-engin/versions/
We appreciate all feedback and ask that you continue to openly communicate with us. Please feel free to reach out directly by email at support@startpage.com, by Twitter @StartpageSearch, or on product review sites. We review these daily and look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for using Startpage. The request to view tabs is only applicable in the initial install process, in order to pass a marketing page URL from add.startpage.com to confirm a successful installation. However, to enable that feature, we had to request users allow access to the tabs. Once install is complete, we NEVER look at your tabs, so we are actively pursuing other options to grab that URL without needing access to tabs. - 评分 1 / 5来自 parski，5 年前Why would you want to access all my tabs? Did you really think this would go by unnoticed by your user base?

Would give it 5 stars if they gave any reason for it.

Holding a star and holding back my version too.

- 评分 4 / 5来自 jackham800，5 年前Fantastic search engine, really appreciate the ability to get Google-tier results privately and through EU servers. Reviewing the add-on specifically at four stars because of lack of ability to save settings - will change review once this feature becomes available.

发布于 5 年前Hello and thanks for using Startpage. We never save or share personal data of any search AND if you view a website using Anonymous View, the website will only see that Startpage has been there, not you. The only way that a website will be able to track you is if you click on an Ad within your search results. It is important to know that all Ads on Startpage are purely contextual advertising, meaning that they are based on your exact search terms NOT your past search or browsing history; therefore, more likely to be helpful versus manipulative. Perhaps you clicked on an Ad or searched using a different source other than Startpage? - 评分 5 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 15211899，5 年前

- 评分 2 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 15080216，6 年前Excellent, however less stars because, as others already commented, search customization is not available in the extension, which is necessary if cookies are deleted at restart/not saved at all.
Please add this functionality to the GUI of the add-on. Thank you.

Here is a way to do it manually, however with many caveats (no updates, search string not changeable, modifying the extension):
1) create a searchstring on https://www.startpage.com/search/settings
2) copy the string starting with "?prfh="
3) install the startpage add-on, close Firefox and navigate to your profile folder where the extensions are stored (usually something like: "userdata directory"/mozilla/firefox/"profilename.default"/extensions )
4) copy {20fc2e06-e3e4-4b2b-812b-ab431220cada}.xpi and open the copy with an archive program (alternatively rename it to .zip, then open)
5) open manifest.json
6) Look for the line "search_url": and delete everything after "dsearch?query={searchTerms}&" and add your personal string starting with "?prfh=" to it.
7) the string should look similar to this: https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?query={searchTerms}&prfh=enable_stay_controlEEE0N1NsuggestionsEEE1N1Ngeo_mapEEE1N1Nwikipedia_iaEEE1N1Nother_iaEEE1N1Ndisable_open_in_new_windowEEE0N1Ndisable_video_family_filterEEE1N1Nenable_post_methodEEE1N1Nenable_proxy_safety_suggestEEE1N1Ndisable_family_filterEEE1N1Nconnect_to_serverEEEeuN1NsslEEE1N1Nlanguage_uiEEEenglishN1NlanguageEEEenglishN1Nwt_unitEEEcelsiusN1Nnum_of_resultsEEE20N1Nlang_homepageEEEs/default/en/
8) save it (rename the zip to xpi again)
10) start Firefox and uninstall the startpage add-on
Technically we have a working add-on now. However Firefox disabled unsigned add-ons for security reasons. So the add-on can't be installed.
9) navigate to "about:debugging#addons" and click "Load temporary Add-on". Now you can add your newly created extension and see if you did everything right.
10) However after each restart of Firefox the extension will be deleted. There are multiple ways to prevent this, however none is really secure/ideal. I chose to upload the new add-on as private add-on here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/submit/ . This signs the add-on officially by Firefox and only let's you download it instead of making it available for others too.
11) Disable updates to the extension. (As nothing got modified in the package except the url, i am unsure how the add-on will behave if there is a new update from startpage. Either it won't install or the private search string will probably be deleted.)
12) Check regularly for the official extension to be updated and include this functionality. This workaround is not ideal, as it is unfair towards the developers to use a modified version of their extension - 评分 5 / 5来自 2587，6 年前
