Startpage offers web search with privacy features such as its Anonymous View proxy. It can be useful if you want familiar search results without sending your request directly to the underlying search provider. It remains a centralized commercial service; review its current privacy notice and remember that a proxy does not control every script or behavior on a destination website.
