Comment(by mikeperry):

 What we're seeing here is actually a change in Google's Safesearch. It
 used to be on by default and quite a bit smarter about differentiating
 porn from non-porn. Now it seems to be keyword based and off by default. I
 will email the Startpage people and tell them that Google's filters have
 changed, and see what they say.

 If they still want to keep this new junky version enabled, I guess we'll
 have to experiment with encoding Startpage preference URL in the omnibox.

 I wonder if their video/image filters also got dumber.
