New Startpage feature: private currency converter

Money makes the world go ‘round! The internet has brought the world together. Sometimes people do business with other countries. Cryptocurrencies are skyrocketing in popularity. And people also invest in gold and silver.

You need to know the exchange rates between Dollars, Euros, Pesos, and Yen. Cryptocurrency values can fluctuate dramatically from day to day. How’d you like to know how much cryptocurrency you can get for your dollar, or to know how much of one cryptocurrency you can get for another?

Here at Startpage, we’re excited to introduce our latest feature– our currency converter. You don’t need to install a new app or browser extension or anything else. You don’t even need to go to a different webpage. Just enter something like “100 USD in Euros” or “1 Bitcoin in Yen” or “convert 1 gram of gold to Ethereum” right into your Startpage search field. No, we won’t actually exchange your money for you. But we will show you the latest exchange rate and how much your assets are worth!

We are proud to offer this new feature. Not only is it convenient for Startpage fans around the world, it also gives you clear information at your fingertips while keeping you in our web application. As you convert currencies with Startpage, your privacy will be protected. We don’t store IP addresses. We don’t fingerprint your web browser. We don’t know who you are or where you’re from. External currency conversion sites can threaten your privacy. You can avoid them, and also avoid the hassle of having to visit another website.

Digital privacy expert Dan Arel explains how your privacy is protected while you stay on Startpage’s platform and why our currency converter is useful:

“Startpage offering a currency conversion tool means I don’t have to give up privacy on a third party site when calculating foreign transactions. My money is my business, and Startpage helps keep it that way.”

So as we add our currency converter to our private search engine, we offer the most effective and convenient way to convert one currency to another whenever you need it.

Feel free to explore our currency converter and tell us what you think.

We’re always working on new features to protect your privacy online and offer you information and convenience.
