So til that if you use DuckDuckGo search engine, and you’re not happy with the result and want to run the previous search through Google, instead of copying your search, then heading to Google, then pasting your previous search, you can just add !g to front of your search in DuckDuckGo and that will auto direct you to Google and run that search for you!

For example: !g search term for Google

    Using DDG to route into Google defeats the point of avoiding Google in the first place.

    You realize that Startpage does the same shit as DDG?

    Startpage just leverages Googles (and Bings) internet index because it would be fucking untenable for any company besides Microsoft and their enormous wallets to compete with a company that has been indexing the internet since the early 1990’s

    The primary difference between StartPage and DDG now is that StartPage uses your data to profit from ad revenue whereas… oops, never mind: DDG also does the exact same thing.

    So there is no difference other than StartPage being better with your privacy because they do not log IPs and are based from the Netherlands who value data privacy.

    BOTH USE BING AND GOOGLE!

    Stop spreading misinformation, you silly fuck.
