The most sensible answer in this thread - by far!
Ixquick isn't good either - when I tried it, I get this little gem: "You
may be using a privacy-oriented browser extension that conflicts with
Ixquick. Please disable this extension and try your search again. If
this does not help, please contact us at (212) 447-1100 (USA) or
autoquery @ ixquick.com." Yeah, right, as if I am going to do that!
Their interface seems exactly the same as the startpage.com one I tried
a few minutes ago. Draw your own concussions!
