Hello calvin here,
I thought I might just share some of my latest experiences (tonight's) with Pale moon and start page.
My sister sent me an email discussing her meds and Addington disease. Being very not medical literate I tried to bone up on it.
Since, at I understand it start page uses google but just withholds your ip address, then relays the search results to you, you should be free of pesky web sites wanting to sell you anything from a peanut butter sandwich to a holiday resort on the moon. So how does google respond to this?
I was led on a merry chase and got nowhere fast. every time I would click on a likely url, I just got the same page (or similar) of links, but could not actually connect with a site discussing the topic.
I changed to 'DuckDuckGo' and bingo I got onto a web site with helpful info straight away.
So yes, start page is good...I like it, but I believe it necessary to bypass google as the default start page search engine.
Has anyone else encountered what seems to be google spite?
