- vanderZwan 9y agoHow would that help with anything? If I use the !g bang I still see my account logged in on the right, so you're still being tracked.
- sethgecko 9y agoI haven't noticed that. So what's the purpose of !g in that case ?
- fencepost 9y agoConvenient redirection? If you do a search on DDG and don't get a viable result, move to the beginning of the search field and add !g and try again. Depending on their logging, this may also allow DDG to see what kinds of searches are being done and then redone/redirected to Google. In aggregate, that may provide useful information on areas where their search results aren't good enough.
- r3bl 9y ago> move to the beginning of the search field Just to clear things up: it really doesn't matter where you include the bang. The beginning, the middle, or the end of the search query, the result is the same. When looking at the search results H, left or right arrow, and type in the bang.
- jdeibele 9y agoUse Firefox and Container Tabs. I have set up a Container for Gmail and use tabs for Google Calendar, sites that use Google for authorization, etc. My default window (and other Container Tabs) doesn't have a Google account attached to it. So I see "Sign In" on the top right when doing Google searches.
- clairity 9y agoyou can use !s instead, which goes to startpage, a proxy for google search results (i don't think it will completely hide you from google, but it's better than a naked !g search).
