About this app

Search without surveillance with the Startpage Private Browser app. This free app is the easiest way to search privately with Startpage on your mobile device.

With Startpage as your built-in, default search engine, every search is private. We don’t log your searches, we don’t record your IP address, and we never build a profile of you. Startpage has been private since 2006 and handles 300 million searches a month.

KEY FEATURES:

- Default Private Search: Startpage’s private search engine provides detailed knowledge panels, instant answers, localized maps, and comprehensive image, video, and news search results, all without tracking or storing any search history.
- Clear All Tabs and Browsing History: Cover your tracks with Zap by closing all open tabs and clearing your browsing history with one button.
- Private Browsing: Startpage’s Anonymous View lets you visit websites from your search results without revealing your IP address, location or DNS.
- Private Tabs: Open and manage multiple private tabs.
- Private Maps: Explore local results without revealing your exact location.
- Unprofiled Search Results: Startpage delivers results based on your search, not your history, so everyone sees the same web.
- No Tracking, No Profiling: Your searches aren’t used to follow you around the web. We show a small number of sponsored links based only on what you searched, never on who you are.
- Strict European Privacy Standards: Startpage is based in the Netherlands and protected by EU privacy law, in line with the GDPR.

Take control of your online privacy today. Startpage has protected private search since 2006.

Download the Startpage private browsing app for free and make private search your default.
Search without surveillance. Private search & browsing, no tracking.

It's a good idea, but several key aspects don't work. Pros: Very clean, no AI. Cons: Search results are poor. "Zap" feature that claims to close all tabs and wipe everything does not close tabs. this is an issue especially because the app always opens a new tab when clicking links, and this cannot be changed, so there are always 100 tabs.

It's pretty cool! The only thing I don't like is that there's too many steps to Start a search. One step to open the app, a second step to tap on a banner inside the app, then a third step to tap on search bar to open the keyboard. I prefer Simple Search...Tap once and type.

I love how the start page is a rockit, and it has a loading bar, and there is no 'A.I' popping up. I just want the internet only. I love this browser. Please dont change this. thankyou.
