Startpage is now built into Firefox (DE, NL, FR, AT, CH)
Big day for us: as of today, Startpage is a built-in private search option in Firefox (154+, desktop) if you're in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Austria, and Switzerland.
This happened because people asked for it. Startpage has been one of the most requested search engines on Mozilla Connect, and Firefox users already run over a billion Startpage searches a year.
How it works: update to the latest Firefox, click the search menu button in your address bar, and pick Startpage. No extension needed. You can also set us as your default in Firefox's search settings.

Not in one of the five European countries above? You can still add Startpage to Firefox manually (same as always). If you want the built-in version where you live, let Firefox know on Mozilla Connect.
