Works great if you're wanting a no-ai search engine. I've only used the mobile version of this, but it's worked as expected. No frills, allows me to wade through the results without seeing the paid or recommended results first. Feels like back in the early google days. and they don't sell your data!

Mike, Moto g13 running Android 14 This app has improved recently, it's got similar settings to Brave, but not as many. There's NO EXIT BUTTON, so if you like to have a clean start for every session, you have to manually clear, Whereas an exit button would do that automatically. Tabs and Groups, close inactive tabs after 3 months, why not a choice? 1 day, week, month etc.

I remember using a one-time free trial of the Start Page E-Mail system sometime during 2001-2019. I don't remember exactly when, but I could not get a subscription for the Start Page E-Mail system. When I first saw that Start Page also has a browser and I noticed it works like the Google Chrome browser, I started using the Start Page browser. I like its Indigo theme color against a solid black black background. Start Page has or does not have synchronized bookmarks across phones and tablets.
