    DDG is by default Bing. Add !g to the end of a search string and it will redirect to google.

    Brave is run by a bigoted piece of shit funded by peter theil, a different piece of shit.

    Mullvad leta is a proxy service that isn’t a search engine exactly but rather a proxy for google or brave search.

      Never understood the point of adding !g to DDG searches cause it literally redirects you to Google. What’s the freaking point of that? Might as well bypass the redirect and just directly search Google.

        You use ddg for 99% of your searches, which maximizes privacy while still getting you the results you need. For the 1% where the results are piss poor, you add !g and deal with evil to get the right answer.

          Yeah but it’s quicker to just select Google from the dropdown after typing in your search in Firefox’s address bar. I can only see this function being useful for people who navigate directly to the search engine’s website to search.

            Why would i type the search query out, then click and drag then click again instead of just typing 3 more characters?

            It easier to type " !g" in either case.
