Ratings and reviews

I've been a Startpage search page user for many years, so I tried out the browser. Nice, but the lack of ad blocking has turned out to be a deal breaker for me. I typically use Firefox (both mobile and PC) and have Startpage as my search page. I whitelist the Startpage webpage itself so it isn't adblocked, but I can't function without ad blocking most everywhere else. Attempting to use the Startpage app as my browser quickly reminded me of why ad blocking exists. YMMV.

For 97% of my purposes, Startpage Browser is the very best. I became so used to Google browser, I still automatically go for it instead of using Startpage. Ironically, I see no why this should not be my default Browser. I have made it my default on a couple devices but as I remember I will change. Two things I like. There are no intrusive ads. I find on sites, prayer sites, others have ad on top of ad. I would gladly pay for this App.

Works amazing, non cluttered UI (only a search bar, one button for tabs, and one button for more options), everything you need can be accessed from one button and from there it brings up a context menu, even has basic but really nice features like desktop site mode, bookmarks, can also delete browsing data and history and has private tabs if you need them for whatever reason. Whatever your needs, this browser has it, and it does it pretty well, no ad blocking capabilities but it's pretty good 👍
