Problems with Startpage in Slimject, settings.

Post by slimject53 »

Hello,

I don't know how to configure startpage to be the one that opens, as much as I try in the settings, it always comes out in the URL with slimject in the first place, it starts like this: https://search.slimjet.org/en/search.php?cof= ... and then it continues with startpage

-- the startpage page does not appear, and if I write in the URL https://www.startpage.com/ nothing appears, blank page. :shock:

Maybe I do not do the configuration correctly, I do not understand ... :(

Thanks for any suggestions.

I found out where the problem is, it turns out that when you are configuring startpage it offers a link to not put the startpage cookie, so you must copy this link and add it to the configuration in slimject, to open startpage later, but ... slimject does not accept that process, you have "to add" the startpage cookie into the browser setting, whether you like it or not. :shock:

EDIT:

Incredible, even putting the startpage/cookie in the browser config., it is slimject who remains as the main ... redirecting to startpage:

https://search.slimjet.org/en/search.php?cof= ...

This whole thing is very weird, not to mention that the other search engines out there like Google, DuckDuckGo, etc. can't be deleted. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Apparently someone tried to do something, and now they made it worse, it is no longer slimject that appears but "a thing" called *ecosia*.

https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=connect ... opensearch

They also added a ban now on Startpage saying that it doesn't follow the rules ... something like that.
