Operating since: 1997 · 29y — Startpage (then Ixquick) launched 1998. Curator-accepted as 1997 to reflect parent Ixquick BV / Surfboard Holding roots; passes the "10+y bucket" sanity check by ~25y margin either way.

B Why grade B?

Solid pick. Verified working but with a meaningful caveat (UX rough, smaller market, intermediate trust step, partial coverage). Listed because the trade-off is sometimes worth it.
