- 评分 5 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 5831045,5 年前Thank's for deactivating browser tab permissions again. I update my vote from "bad" to "super".
Original comment:
'Access to all tabs' is a NoGo. You might not abuse it now but this could happen in the future without knowledge of the user. Your note that this is only for a comment after the successful installation does not pacify me. This is like leaving my home unlocked since I cannot see any evildoer right now. Please remove this permission ASAP.
I really like this extension, but now I will block any further update for it.开发者回应

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/

'opening a marketing page'? is this an early april fools' joke? removed and will not install again, even if I might use your search engine for a few months before someone more reasonable comes along (with ublock, how else?).

Your opinion and feedback are important to us. We do our best balancing ease of use for new users and maintaining legacy functionality for our current users. We understand your decision regarding the extension. One simple solution to continue to search in private with Startpage is to manually set it as your default search engine in Firefox (instructions below). Moreover, we’d like to apologize for not alerting you before the change. We’re sorry and have learned an important lesson. Please feel free to share more at support@Startpage.com.

We appreciate your feedback. It has made an impact and we are actively pursuing other options to grab that URL without needing access to tabs. We’re sorry that we did not do more to alert new extension users beforehand. If you change your mind, you can continue to search in private with Startpage without granting permission to your tab data is by using the extension from our website using the URL below.

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 Firefox 用户 15311180,6 年前Wants permission to see all tabs. No idea why it would want that. "Privacy"

I could not find source code or description why it would require it.

Did you really think this would go by unnoticed by your user base?

Holding a star and holding back my version too.

- 评分 4 / 5来自 jackham800,6 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 6 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 15211899,6 年前
