Ixquick is a metasearch engine that like DuckDuckGo touts itself as a privacy-based search engine by not keeping logs and does not record IP addresses.[1][2] It has a variant, startpage.com which bases its results on Google's algorithm rather than combining results from multiple search engines.

The company was however founded by David Bodnick, a jew.[3] It began in 1988 in the Netherlands and later expanded to offices in jew York.[4]

It does default with a safesearch filter on seemingly requiring a cookie to be stored, however it allows all its preferences to be stored in a URL instead.[5][6]
