Started using Startpage a few months ago at the recommendation of a co-worker. It uses Google instead of Bing for search results, which is why I started using it, but I learned that it describes itself as:

“an Industry-leading omnichannel digital marketing platform, powered by Machine Learning and AI, that monetizes internet traffic by putting the right ads in front of the right people at the right time.”

    If it uses Google, is there any privacy advantage to using Startpage instead of directly using Google?

    Everyone can still use data poisoning. I’m turning 60 next week and looking to retire somewhere I can golf and visit an exotic wildlife sanctuary.
