'''SOLUTION:'''<br />

*[https://duckduckgo.com/ DuckDuckGo] DuckDuckGo is similar to Startpage but the content is provided by different Search Engines. DuckDuckGo gets results from Bing and others. Like Startpage, DuckDuckGo anonymizes your search queries and blends them in with millions of others.

*[https://www.ixquick.com/ IxQuick] IxQuick is the parent company of StartPage and the behavior and structure is very similar. The only difference is that while Startpage provides content from Google. IxQuick provides content from nearly everybody BUT Google.

'''SOLUTION:'''<br />

The obvious solution is to stop using DNS Servers! This, of course, is unreasonable. The next best thing is to use a DNS server that isn't run by the government, a large corporation, or your ISP. The [http://www.opennicproject.org OpenNIC Project] is a community run, alternative DNS network. They organize a variety of DNS servers that either keep no longs, delete them after a short amount of time, or anonymize the data. By selecting the correct DNS server you can get the level of privacy you're comfortable with.<br />

BONUS!: The OpenNIC Project supports a set of alternative TLDs (Top Level Domains). TLDs are things like .com, .net, and .org. OpenNIC adds some others like .free, .geek, and .indy. Domain Names on these alternate TDLs are free to register but are only available to those using the OpenNIC DNS network.

'''PROBLEM:'''<br />

Most people's email is hosted by either their ISP or a webmail provider like Google or Yahoo. This means that all of your emails are stored on a server owned by someone else. Even if you host your own email server or download your emails from your ISP (and trust that they delete them) the person you sent the email to or received the email from likely suffers from these same issues. Additionally the transmission of emails is often insecure.
