I’m aware that it used to be owned by an ad company System1. But I found this post by the founder where he said that it’s now an independent project.

phew and thats how i accidentally discovered just now about Startpage being owned by a marketing company, somehow i missed that news
From Wikipedia
i guess now i will have to pivot search to somewhere else, i went from DuckDuckGo to Startpage years ago now i will look around for something else
I switched to Brave Search when I switched to Brave, very pleased with it so far. Its image search isn’t quite as good but otherwise, I haven’t looked back.
