| Key differentiators are: - Startpage was founded in 2006, in the Netherlands by Robert E.G. Beens and David Bodnick the founder of metasearch engine Ixquick (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startpage.com) VS. DuckDuckGo (DDG) was founded in 2008, in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania by Gabriel Weinberg who previously founded Names Database (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_Database). - HQ'd in the Netherlands ensuring worldwide users are protected by stringent EU and Dutch privacy legislation VS. DDG based in the United States - Startpage provides Google results VS. DDG provides primarily Yahoo and BING results - Startpage offers Anonymous View, a proprietary feature that lets users browse their search results privately via a protective proxy VS. DDG does not have this feature, but has done well to design an intuitive and attractive experience. |
