  • Interesting. Did not know that:

    Startpage is a global privacy technology company that was founded in 2006 in the Netherlands. It is owned by a Dutch company, which is operated from its headquarters in The Hague, the Netherlands. Startpage is also part of System1, a publicly traded company based in the United States. System1, through its subsidiary Privacy One Group, acquired a majority stake in Startpage in October 2019. Despite this acquisition, Startpage has maintained its commitment to privacy and continues to operate under the leadership of its founders, including Robert E.G. Beens, who is the Co-Founder and CEO

    Personally I see any switch away from big tech (ideally to FOSS) as win. We don’t need to be perfect, but try our best. In the end a lot of people doing it imperfectly will have a bigger impact than a few people doing it perfectly.

    That said I’ll most likely remove it from the selection in the next couple of days.


    Edit: replaced it with Karma search






















  • Love the idea. Then we don’t depend on chains correctly labeling products - if they add indicators at all.

    Appreciate you trying to pre-fill with as many products as possible. Would love to see you finding a way to integrate community curation as well.

    On another note: how about separating the database in its own service that only focuses on database management & API for other products to use as well? Or does anybody know of a similar database that is already built (community-driven, not controlled by a few)?
