For those that are looking for a reason to try DDG out:
I use the DDG plugin for firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-for-firefox/?src=userprofile https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-fo...) -- and I get to type things like:
!hn duckduckgo
!python multiprocessing
!ud swagtron
in my addressbar and get pretty quick amazing access to a bunch of sites I know about on the internet without setting up my own custom search options on the browser itself. It has saved me tons of time and is an awesome feature.
Of course, there are more reasons to choose DDG, but I remember being pretty wowed when I first saw someone else use the one I just mentioned
- stinos 11y agoI don't think you need a plugin for that? Anything typed in the address bar which doesn't look like an internet address will be sent to the default search engine by FF, so if that happens to be DDG you're ok.
- hardwaresofton 11y agoThat's absolutely right -- the plugin sets your default search provider, but if you just set it to DDG yourself (or search those phrases on duckduckgo.com), you would get those awesome features.
