Alternatively, just change your browser's default search shortcut, and add &udm=14 to the end of the normal google search. It changes the default search results to "web" rather than "All", which removes all the extraneous crap they've added over the years.

Compare https://www.google.com/search?q=test to https://www.google.com/search?q=test&udm=14



The wild thing is how much faster it is to load. I'd almost forgotten how fast Google's default search used to be. Thank you!


Both just give me a recaptcha. Start page doesn't:

Which search engines does it use? I couldn't find info, and I'm just curious.


Can't find full list either, but it at least includes Bing and Google: https://support.startpage.com/hc/en-us/articles/452243553384...


How do they send the query on your behalf privately, without incurring insane search api costs?


Or even better: stop using Google.

Use Kagi instead.


Wow, great tip! Thank you!
