Google does sooo much filtering of search results I can no longer use them. They actively supress information which they deem politically controversial. I have been using duckduckgo for a few years now and I really appreciate getting a raw search result where I do the content filtering.. not to mention my privacy is more protected there. On the very rare case I don't find what I want there, adding the "bang" !g to my search will route me to google, so its no pain to dig there if needed.

I also use Duckduckgo as a default and only have to use Google maybe once per week, and then I use the !g shortcut from Duckduckgo.

"I use the !g shortcut from Duckduckgo"

This works so neatly!! Going to try duckduckgo for the next month.
