ok, but now hitting the ESC key the actual page gets lost and Startpage will be loaded. WTF?! Is this done by your addon??

Man hat zwar vollen Zugriff auf den Google-Content, aber die Leute aus Mountain View CA haben keinen Zugriff auf meine Daten!!! OK, Werbung gibt es bei Startpage auch (irgendwie müssen sie ja Geld verdienen), aber keine personalisierte! Deshalb der fehlende fünfte Stern.
