    How can a privacy-focused search engine block Tor? You probably should remove those.

      Agreed, it feels like it’s a strong signal they don’t take privacy seriously.

      lol I commented w/o checking comments.

      The reason I stopped using StartPage is because the blocked me on Tor, and also with site: operator from the URL bar.

        Tor traffic is not necessarily vicious traffic…

            Probably some govt somewhere:

          If 94% of traffic from a given source is malicious, and I don’t have a good way of differentiating the 6% that is good, I might just end up blocking 100% to keep my site stable.

          Just another example of bad actors making it so we can’t have nice things.
