I suppose this addon is for desktop. Why startpage doesnt work anymore on firefox/android?

Hi popof,

A workaround is to add Startpage to your search-engines dropdown search-menu and/or make Startpage your default search-engine.

Select ⋮ Menu (upper right-hand) Setting>Search>Manage alternative search engines >+ Add search engine >Name Startpage >Search string URL https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?q=%s >Save

To set as default search-engine; Setting>Search>Default search engine Then select for Normal & Private Browsing.

If this resolves the Issue, please mark as Solved to help Other People with this Issue. Thank You & Good Luck🍀

Hi me.at.here-55, that doesn't resolve my issue: startpage appears and shows the message "checking your query" during various minutes: useless! Thanks anyway for the concern
