Startpage search

[Harry Bloomfield]

I use Startpage as my search engine, as I have done for years - because it's a nice, simple interface with no tracking, except suddenly this morning...

"We're sorry for the inconvenience! Our system has detected the type of high-volume traffic coming from your internet connection that is normally associated with bots and scrapers."

I've probably used it twice in the last three days.

It's a generic message:


...and I have  never used startpage before!

It must have been a glitch at their end - all working normally now.
