Just to add to the other comments already addressing the !g option: I use DuckDuckGo exclusively but I almost never use it's actual search results as a Google replacement for precisely this reason. It's just that I use !w, !imdb, !m, !n, !ups & friends so often, than it's worth it to just prefix my search with !g when I do want traditional web search. But now I've stopped using Google as a shortcut to get to what I already know I'm looking for but don't want to type the full address. I really just use DuckDuckGo results when I do want the privacy especially.
