Why I switched from Google to DuckDuckGo; it’s all about the bangs

Google is fun to say, but DuckDuckGo — at least for me — is a lot more fun to use. While I can’t repeat the name as a verb (I can ‘Google it’ on Google; I don’t know what I’d say for a DuckDuckGo search), the upstart search engine has quickly become my go-to on a day to day basis.

So, why is DuckDuckGo better than Google?

While its main draw is privacy, DuckDuckGo has another killer feature you may not have heard of. In fact, it should cause you to consider ditching your existing search engine for DuckDuckGo — yes, even Google. I’m talking about bangs.

No, not 80s hair bangs (but they would look cool on their mascot, Dax). Bangs are simply exclamation points ahead of site tags, which redirects you to that page.

By the way, you've simply copied the contents from the site you linked to, but didn't explicitly mention doing so. I believe this is a violation against the Steemit norm, and possibly the rules.

Ok, thought it was obvious enough.

I'll edit it.

Excellent! This is just my understanding of Steemit, I'm not saying it's actually a violation of anything, just suggested making things totally clear.

Nah I gotcha. I've had an issue with the cheetah bot. It's not technically a violation but it's frowned upon by the community or so that's what they tell me. But I had another steemit bot come in my defence afterwards lol

try searx.me another great search engine.

Oh right on. Thanks!

I've been using duckduckgo.com as my default search engine for years, and it's improved tremendously during that time. I highly recommend it over say Google.
