Description

StartPage HTTPS Search for Safari for Mac is a powerful internet software that provides you with convenient mobile access to StartPage.com, one of the world's most private search engines. With StartPage, you can access Google search results privately and anonymously from the convenience of your smartphone or other mobile device.

When you use StartPage, all identifying information from your query is removed. This means that we get the results and return them to you in total privacy, and then we delete all records of your visit. This makes StartPage the perfect tool for iron-clad privacy protections, plus great search results.

Unlike other search engines that record your search terms and the links you click on to build a detailed profile of your interests, StartPage has a zero data-collection policy. We never collect any personal information on our users. We don't store your IP address, we don't capture your location, and we don't record what you searched for. In fact, we keep no records on you at all - nada, zilch, zero!

All searches are encrypted using state-of-the-art SSL encryption technology. That means not only can hackers or service providers not see what you're searching for but also neither can NSA or any other government agency trying to spy on its citizens.

StartPage protects its users from physical intrusion by deleting their searches and web history after a pre-set time or whenever they close or suspend the app. With just one tap of their Home button - their searches are gone!

Moreover; Startpage strips out user's search terms so they cannot be seen by websites visited through it which ensures complete anonymity while browsing online without leaving any trace behind.

Startpage never uses tracking cookies nor does it accept tracking cookies from websites visited through it which further enhances user's privacy protection while browsing online.

In conclusion; if privacy is important to you when browsing online then look no further than Startpage HTTPS Search for Safari as it offers unparalleled levels of security & anonymity while providing great search results at the same time!

Review

StartPage HTTPS Search for Safari for Mac provides an elegant solution for anonymous Web browsing in the form of a small but powerful Safari extension. The service is based on Google, which means that users can enjoy the benefits of the world's top search engine without any of the major security concerns. If browser security is important to you, you'll like this extension.

After installing StartPage HTTPS Search for Safari, you'll notice a new button on the toolbar to the left of the address field. Clicking on it pops up a text field that links to StartPage's search service. The extension, itself, doesn't have any options to configure, unlike the Web site, which has a wealth of settings that range from privacy and search result options to page themes. When comparing the extension's search engine to Google, we found a 90 percent overlap in search results on the first page. Two features that stand out are View by Proxy and Highlight. View by Proxy further protects your privacy by utilizing a remote proxy server to fetch all needed information and send it to you, while Highlight opens the page with the search terms highlighted. While free proxy servers are notorious for being slow and unreliable, we had no issues with the ones this app is using.

StartPage HTTPS Search for Safari offers many important privacy features. It's a good option for privacy-minded Internet users who want to browse the Web securely without having to forsake their favorite browser, Google. You have nothing to lose from installing this extension and trying it out.
