Comment (by heyjoe):

 > Startpage does not want us using their engine.

 What does this mean? Who is stopping you from setting any search engine as
 default?

 What does "good" mean, considering that Amazon can track all the searches?
 And what is the basis of your trust in a search provider who is working
 with an entity like Amazon?

 one instead, thanks!

 I decided to comment here because of the previous context and discussion.
 I can surely open a new ticket but I would like to clarify for myself if
 that would really be considered or simply closed because it has been
 already pre-decided.
