ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Startpage.com

Okay, so you know how when you go on the internet, you usually type something in a search box to find what you're looking for? Well, startpage.com is a website where you can do that too!

But there's something special about startpage.com - they care a lot about keeping your searches private. You know how sometimes when you search for something, it feels like ads start popping up everywhere related to that thing? That's because other search engines (like Google) keep track of what you search for and use that information to show you ads. But startpage.com doesn't do that!

When you search for something on startpage.com, they make sure nobody knows what you searched for. They also won't show you any ads based on what you searched for. And that's how they protect your privacy!
