| 2024-07-19 | Briadd-on | | Seems to work as intended, haven't had any issues with it. I've been using it since November 2022 on Firefox and before then on Chromium. |

| 2024-05-16 | Antrometik | | For some reason this COMPLETELY blocks some captchas from working (arkose & arkoselabs.com) which breaks some websites, otherwise it's great! |

| 2024-03-21 | Antihero | | Længe siden seneste opdatering, så vælg den anden udvidelse tilbudt af Startpage, hvis du vælger Startpage. Ellers findes der up-to-date alternativer. |

| 2024-02-24 | Expert Plus 🍀 | | Startpage is owned by System1, right? Right. This extension is useless. Use uBlock Origin instead. Like, what are the reasons to use this extension? What's so special about it? Senseless and useless, documentation-less and introduction-less, privacy-less. Startpage does one thing, named privacy-washing. Yes, I do care about my privacy and that's the reason I don't use this product or anything from red-flagged System1! Red flags! Red flags! Red flags! Be aware. For team: Please explain what's so special about this extension and is it better then uBlock Origin? Thank you. P.S. Also, explain why do you privacy-wash people. |
