Who is your ISP? Don't you have a VPN?

Right from your desktop this search engine is encrypted. It actually uses portions of Googles search engine but through it own cloud based system. Individual search requested are therefore stripped of header identification and officiated through thousands of grouped requests. This makes it almost impossible to isolate a single individual and as all header detail is stripped and requests are deleted, following up on a user is virtually impossible.

I will try this search engine out for a while and see if I like it. 

Aside: It seems that the US security state is trying to stop all products with end-to-end encryption...yet again.

How does it stop my ISP from gathering my information?

Here is supposed, the world's most private search engine.

"Our Story
Why did we create Startpage.com?

As kids, we’re all taught not to touch stuff that doesn’t belong to us. It’s a good guideline. So why are online companies harvesting our personal data without our consent? They shouldn’t. That’s why we’re developing online tools that help you stay in control of your personal information. Search is done. Expect other private versions of common digital services soon. Why?

Because it’s our belief that personal data should be your data, not Big Data. Period."
