With more concern growing for online privacy, no longer are proxies only for those looking to use them for nefarious reasons.
In today’s world, now more than ever, it seems that we are seeing folks looking for new and creative ways to prevent big brother from spying what they’re doing. At least that seems to be where Startpage is going with this.
So now for the million dollar question – should you use Startpage for it’s proxy options? I am leaning with no, simply because I think that using proxies provide a false sense of security. Best defense against losing your privacy is simply to do everything you can to protect your private information.
