Gread idea. Odd first impression.

Wikipedia has 4 thumbs down 1 thumbs up and is grade B. Tor has 0 thumbs down 3 thumbs up and is grade C.

DuckDuckGo has only 1 thumbs down: "Instead of asking directly, this Service will assume your consent merely from your usage." and is grade B, presumably because of this. Startpage is grade A, has no thumbs down, but going on startpage does not prompt me to agree to anything either.

You only need to accept DuckDuckGo's ToS when you sign up for privacy pro. What the point means is that they can change the ToS and assume consent to the changes when you continue using it, instead if prompting again.

Startpage does not have or need a ToS
