Startpage supposedly uses Google's search engine without tracking your ip.

Not heard of them, will check it out, thanks!

E: a quick look tells me it doesn't work with VPN, so that's a no from me...

That's strange, I use Mullvad VPN and Startpage is my main search engine and It's only given me trouble once. They made me fill a captcha and wait a while in order to be able to use it again, but it was just an our at most.

I read quite a few reviews that said they were having this problem, and I don't really have the kind of patience it takes to wait that long. 😂

Fair enough lol. Just for the record, I've had this problem once in 6 months.
