Startpage is my search engine of choice and I would consider using it as a browser IF there was an app for Windows, Linux and Android and was based on Gecko not Chromium and had extensions. An issue plaguing the Android world is very restrictive and repetitive browsers and no one seems to really think outside the box anymore, no new innovation at all.

I have had a go at using the newly created Startpage Browser and I am absolutely loving it. The loading time of webpages runs smoothly, considering the browser is in beta. It is comforting that I am able to browse the internet with privacy. It is fantastic that Startpage has expanded on its privacy focused private search engine. My congratulations goes to Startpage.

Was asked to enable cookies when trying to access my yahoo mail account. They were allowed. Back to Firefox for me. Pity, but I'll continue to use startpage via Firefox (which i have been doing for years on PC, tablet and phone without needing an ap)- where logging on is easy and not so frustrating. I also don't like that it doesn't have a clear cookies, history etc on exit feature. Why not?
