ddg.gg is shorter and redirects to the duckduckgo.com website.


Switch to DDG as your default, and you can search using Google semi-anonymously in even fewer keystrokes by just typing "g! <search query here>" (or just using DDG as-is).


Bangs are so nice. They're my primary method for searching various sites. I've actually never really looked at a list of them, they just feel intuitive and often exist for sites I want to look at. There are the big ones like !w for wikipedia, but there's also !aw for archwiki, !mal for myanimelist, and even !naruto for narutopedia. I've even used them to get around site issues. I recently had an issue with my browser where I couldn't search on MAL, but searching via bangs worked, so I just kept doing that.


!g, you mean.
