    Ha. Yes it sounds ridiculous on it’s face. But... It’s the privacy thing I’m concerned about. If google the tool was all Google is, then I’d have no problem with it. It’s the rest of Google I have an issue with. I can bang google the tool along with wiki or whatever and still avoid the invasive practices the company uses. I don’t think that’s a complicated concept.

      !g redirects to google. How does that help your privacy?

        So it does. My mistake. Haven’t used the bang feature in a long time. Either way, I use DDG by default on all my devices. I support as many companies as I can that don’t sell my data.

          It didn’t redirect in the past?
          • zigzaggy 7y ago
            I don’t remember it redirecting. But I forget the past all the time.

  My problem is that everytime I try to make the switch I just end up !g'ing everything which defeats the purpose.

    Not if privacy is your end goal.
