Features & Capabilities

Unlock the full power of Startpage’s privacy features with a single click! Quick Proxy for Startpage is a lightweight and powerful extension that provides an instant shortcut to open any link in Startpage's secure "Anonymous View," a proxy service that protects your privacy by hiding your identity from the websites you visit.

If you value your online privacy but find the process of searching for a link just to open it anonymously a bit slow, this extension is the perfect tool for you. It automates the entire process, turning multiple steps into one seamless action.

How It Works:

This extension integrates directly into your browser's right-click context menu to provide a frictionless privacy-enhancing experience. The entire process is fully automated:

Right-Click Any Link: Simply find a link on any webpage that you wish to view privately and right-click on it.
Select the Option: Choose "Open with Startpage Anonymous View" from the menu.
Automation Takes Over: The extension instantly opens a new tab and performs a highly specific search on Startpage for the link you clicked.
Auto-Click & Redirect: A script on the search page immediately finds the first "Anonymous View" button and clicks it for you, commanding Startpage to open the proxied page.
Clean & Tidy: The proxy opens in a fresh, new tab, and the intermediate search tab automatically closes itself, leaving no mess.

The result is a lightning-fast transition from clicking the menu item to viewing your destination in a secure, private proxy tab. 🛡️

Key Features:

One-Click Privacy: Open any link in Startpage's Anonymous View without ever leaving your current page to search for it manually.
Seamless Integration: Adds a simple, intuitive option to your right-click context menu.
Fully Automated: No extra clicks needed. The extension handles the search, the click, and the cleanup.
Lightweight & Efficient: Built with minimal, clean code to ensure it doesn't slow down your browser.
100% Private: The extension collects, stores, and transmits absolutely zero user data. Your browsing is your business.
Open Source: Licensed under the permissive MIT License, so you can be confident in its safety and transparency.

Anonymous View for Startpage is the ultimate shortcut for privacy-conscious users who want security without sacrificing convenience.
