Since a mention in HN a couple weeks ago I've been using the DDG extension for Firefox, and love it: even if you're not using DDG as a search engine, it adds very cool insights to Google result pages.
- eksith 13y agoI'm finding a lot of my information without even needing to visit a page. A bit like Google's info-boxes, I can get quick answers to a lot of things without hassle. The one area it could be a bit better is for some things that are slightly esoteric or articles that are very new. I just search with "!g" added to the query and get those via redirect (of course, that does negate privacy a bit since results are from Google).
- nikolaplejic 13y agoYou can always use "!s" to fetch the results through startpage.com, which anonymizes your Google query.
- rollo_tommasi 13y agoIs there a difference between using Startpage through DDG, and just using Startpage?
- nikolaplejic 13y agoNo - DDG simply redirects your query to Startpage. For me, it's just a convenient way to reach out to Google when DDG doesn't cut it.
