Also, since we talk about chrome, there are very handful and underused search engine shortcuts built in : simply type the first letters of the search engine in address bar and press <tab>. I've switched to duckduckgo about a month ago, and indeed I'm regularly making search on google because duckduckgo just can't provide the results I want as well (especially when it comes to non english search). But it's way less a pain that it seems : I just type "g<tab>", and I'm using google. And I still have the high privacy advantage of duckduckgo for most of my searches where the duck is enough. The bonus of that is that I now frequently use "gi<tab>" to search on github or "y<tab>" to search on youtube.
