 Startpage.com is hostile to Tor users, and should be replaced with
 duckduckgo.

 Statpage consistently returns error pages claiming an affinity for Tor
 users, but blocks searches via. Tor nonetheless.  The blocking is so
 prevalent that a Google search via Tor is more likely to succeed without a
 Captcha vs. startpage.com.

 There is no BS with Duckduckgo, which should be the default search engine
 in the TBB.

 Also, I suffer from Dyslexia, and it was extremely difficult to sign-up
 for this bugzilla due to nearly impossible to decipher capthchas.  I have
 a very heard time reading these things.  There must be a better way --
 they really suck for ppl. with this disorder.  JMHO.
