How does StartPage compare with DuckDuckGo?
StartPage.com and DuckDuckGo are both privacy-focused search engines, but there are some differences.

Startpage .com delivers Google search results in privacy. It does not log or share any user personal information, and Google doesn’t see users who are within its protection.

Startpage .com offers a free “Anonymous View” proxy with every search result so users can visit 3rd party websites privately, too. This helps prevent those annoying ads that follow users across the Internet.

Startpage .com is located in Europe, where privacy is protected by law. It is not subject to U.S. surveillance mandates like PRISM, and is not subject to US National Security Letters and gag orders.

DuckDuckGo is a U.S.-based search engine. It has a major partnership with Yahoo and delivers mainly Yahoo /Bing search results. I always recommend that if people want Yahoo search results they should visit DuckDuckGo instead of going to Yahoo directly. DuckDuckGo indicates it does not collect user information, while Yahoo clearly states that it does collect user information.
