I added Startpage (formerly Ixquick) as you suggested, it now shows in settings, under the defaults, but the only options in the ellipse are edit, remove. None for make default.
I would like an article that rates the various search engines and explains what they were originally designed to research. Specific instructions as to how to set up and use with a VPN would be very helpful. Something aimed at a user and not full of technical terms would be appreciated (I am NOT a programmer, just a skilled end user). I like Google Chrome as it is easy to use and tends to find what I want despite my poor search input. Bing seems to find images and movies very well, Google Chrome’s presentation of this type of search result is just awful.
I hate this “Bing thing” (not Crosby) but IT keeps encroaching whenever it wants to causing much grief. Google, I’ve been in love with you & Chrome forever. You’ve always been my chosen & voted for default, but I’m constantly having to re-set you back! So I finally Impeached the Binghole! Well…bye-bye access to anything Google, restore dates, photos, etc. I went to ADD it below to the other section but not knowing the query jargon, it’s being a bigger spoiled bully than before….. then synced with my android, too! It must’ve known I was going to finally set up a TWITTER account to finally exercise my 1st amendment right. SO, long story short-ish, I broke down, went next door & Voila! SUCCESS! Here I come TWITTER! (Just so you know – I have NO social media anythings. None, ZERO, zilch. Nope, not even Facebook. I truly hope you can post this to help others without getting into trouble or you shutting off my account. Thank you, Digital Citizens. You ROCK!
