said by Mele20:I just put the same search "host file ignored" in StartPage. There are way too many sponsored results and ads both at the top, middle and bottom of the first results page! Plus, like Disconnect only 10 results per page. If I have to live with 10 results instead of 100 per page then I sure don't want ads and sponsored results too.
As a regular user of Startpage, I like to setup a custom URL which is a feature of their settings page. 100 results is an option I always turn on among a zillion others. I like how it runs without scripts, too. I get 3 ads at the top followed by 100 results.
DuckDuckGo has a similar Settings/URL setup which I also use on occasion but StartPage is primary.
Hey, we have an
ABG thread going (Anyone But Google).
(yeah, I know they're Google frontends before anyone jumps in...)
