Ominiously, a tagline at the foot of https://startpage.com proclaims:
StartPage's new look is coming soon. Preview it here.

I changed my Netsurf "welcome" page months ago so that instead of
Google, I get https://duckduckgo.com/html/search

Copy of said page and instrux are here if anybody wants to try it:
