Absolutely a must if you value your security

Starpage is easy to use and has the extra security functions you need to not be bombarded by ads or algorithms every second.
You also have the added benefit of No AI so you search based on actual facts from well researched sources. You get real information which is unbiased and you’re saving water by not contributing to massive data centres.

Private Browser

Funny how they say it’s private when they collect usage data,diagnostics and device info.

Good but

Overall good, but can’t edit bookmark names

Great browser

I have yet to find a more private and better web browser for iPhone than Startpage. It includes an actually private incognito mode, and a handy zap button. Would recommend

Disappointed

Startpage used to be my favorite browser but I just deleted the app off my iPhone because anonymous view is no longer working. This started happening a month or so ago. I wonder what they did to cause this because I haven’t made any changes on my end…

Still the Best

5⭐️

Please add a search button “🔍” to the bottom tool bar to make it easier to initiate a search using the keyboard when address bar is on top. Thank you.

Group tabs?

Overall I am so happy with Startpage! I just wish there was a way to group tabs (i.e. video games, books, TTRPGs, research, etc)

Nice and clean

Simple is good

Anonymous view

Website don’t load when using anonymous view

Lightning Fast & Private ⚡

I’ve tried Chrome, Safari, Brave and many others, but I’ve never seen a browser this fast. Everything opens in milliseconds. Plus, privacy is fully protected. Highly recommend! ⚡

Startpage - Browser

I want to keep using this browser but falls short. I would like more control over ad blocking rulesets (including adding my own), Also, when i use share sheet or tap link in mail, start page browser open but the page is not. This is a deal breaker, i just don't have time to tinker when brave and safari just do that job correctly. Keep trying, this browser is on good track. looks like it's back to safari for the time being.

Response from developer

Thank you for caring about privacy and for sharing your feedback with us.

really enjoying

i love how similar the layout is with safari so getting used to it was easier. still getting used to the search results as i’ve been using google for decades lol. this has real potential!

Startpage - Browser

current mission is to find a valid alternative to Brave. Must block trackers and ads. Startpage seems to the job but time will tell. please add more AdBlock sources and please... the ability for users to add their own list AdBlock list.

have to clear cache after every use or it freezes

have to clear cache after every use or it freezes. new prinlem started today. Poor programming. Fix it now!

Been waiting for such a browser !

"A(ddled) I(diot)" optional therefore a tweak in search terms results in different answers. Cleaner than other privates ;) Fast while using far less battery.
Wishlist
Ability to create "folders" for cleaner bookmarks and
for cc to work in full screen.

crashes instantly on startup

im using an iphone 7 so this is somewhat excusable given its age, but if there are problems with older hardware they should increase the ios version requirement

this review is subject to change if this gets fixed, other than that i use startpage on my desktop all the time and it works exceptionally well so id imagine the app is the same

Amazing

Best privacy browser

But you have to go deep into settings to make everything private. I was annoyed by several presets, like allowing third-party apps and exempting website offline data from the zap.

Private and Diversified Searches

Love the searches offering various diversified results and privacy is very effective.

So far so good

Starting to use this search engine because of googles AI push, it functions very good so far.
