Is startpage not recommended? Did I miss something?
As I understand, an adtech company bought a majority stake in StartPage in 2019, and though they apparently can't use that stake to force privacy-threatening changes, I personally find that acquisition disconcerting. Probably not enough to say it's unsafe to use, but enough that I prefer some of the other options out there.
