You can use !s for StartPage for the “Google can’t see my queries” layer.

I don't believe startpage. Either they are lying to users about the Google results, or google is lying to them.

Search for '5vh9ld'. It is reddit post's URL.

https://startpage.com/do/metasearch.pl?query=5vh9ld

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=5vh9ld

5/7 google results are spam that should have been removed. I wonder if the 0/7 on start page is that sort of spam filtering run amuck.

And, if you trust startpage I think there is a "bang" for that as well, maybe !s or something so a DDG user should be able to reach that too from DDG.
