DuckDuckGo is ran by yahoo and hardly any better, they've been busted spying on users.
startpage is anonymized google, I recommend this because for better or worse google has the best search engine.
searx.me is better when security is more important
I personally avoid StartPage, use Ixquick instead. They are the same company, but Ixquick claims to not use google.
I didn't know yahoo had purchased ddg, that is a shame as ddg is my default search engine.
FF v47 portable is my preferred browser.
