DeepIncognito vs Google, Startpage & Bing
Most search engines claim some form of privacy. The honest test is narrow: is the query logged, does anything persist on your device, and can you make the results disappear on demand? Here is how four options compare.
Feature comparison
| Feature | DeepIncognito | Startpage | Bing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No query logging | ✓ | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ |
| Erase-first experience | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Auto-destruct on inactivity | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| No local storage of searches | ✓ | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ |
| No account required | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Built-in VPN mode | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
What the differences mean in practice
Query logging is the core issue: once a search is stored, it can be linked to a profile, retained indefinitely and requested by third parties. Google and Bing retain search activity by design. Startpage avoids logging but still leaves the results sitting on your screen and in your session.
Where DeepIncognito goes further
DeepIncognito treats the visible session as part of the threat model. Results are shown temporarily, the session self-destructs after inactivity, and one tap dissolves everything on screen. SuperIncognito adds a tunnel mode so the request itself is masked.
