 Startpage.com is one of the preset search engines of the tbb but if one is
 using it as the default search engine, it isn't possible to use the right-
 click search function (for a marked expression) because tbb/NoScript will
 prompt a xss error message.

 As far as I see it, there is already an anti-xss exception rule for
 Yahoo!, maybe it would be a good idea to add something like
 `^https://startpage\.com/do/dsearch`
 `^https://startpage.com/rto/search`

 as an anti-xss exception rule to NoScript---to improve the usability of
 startpage.com as default search engine.
