I switched from Google to DDG about a year ago but I just switched to Startpage about a week ago... lets see how it goes (I was getting bored of Bing's results).
But I wonder how long Wikivoyage has been blocked from DDG and/or Bing...

- ronyclau 5y agoStartpage was my preferred search engine for the past two years, however in the past half year, I get many of my searches blocked when they contain "site:" param. The situation got worse in thev part few months when some searches with double-quotes get blocked too, which is a deal breaker for me. For blocked search, I meant Startpage showed a page claiming unusual network activity, and presented a report form. There was no captcha, and there's no way to continue the search from there. I wasn't using VPN when this happened, and I encountered this on my home WiFi, office WiFi, and mobile network, MacBook and Android.
