Reviews of startpage privacy protection:
Would have been a 5 star review, however they have gone completely scummy by forcing your new tab window to be startpage with no way of disabling it in the extension settings. Absolutely unacceptable. Privacy badger does not change your browser settings like that, and does the exact same thing. Maybe I can revisit this if they change it, but until then 1 star it is.
it blocks cookies. and prevent from tracking.
It's really good for disabling trackers from what it reports in its statistics, I don't know how to verify that it actually blocks trackers. The only annoying thing is that it forces omnibox searches to startpage, while I want to keep Google. Startpage search results are often irrelevant and not able to find what I'm looking for, also Startpage always uses the first 3-4 positions for placed ads, which is extremely annoying. I will not be continuing using this plugin.
