It’s hard to go anywhere online these days without having your privacy invaded. While we don’t expect everyone to go cold-war-style nuclear on their devices, we do think it’s high time that privacy is given more respect.

Why does it matter?

This has become a scary reality in the wake of recent scandals and data breaches. That’s why we decided to create a privacy protection tool that can be easily used by the average person. We don’t want you to have to worry about data privacy; we’re here to make your life easier.

Whether you’re a web developer or a casual Internet user, you can take advantage of all this with the Startpage Privacy Protection extension for Google Chrome. With our tool, you can safely navigate the web with privacy in mind and protect your personal information.

For example, if you’re a web developer and you’re running a site that sends your user data back to a third party, you can have Startpage turn that off by simply turning it off in our settings. All other sites will continue to work as usual.
