Oh cool, DuckDuckGo now accepts pay-for-placement and doesn't review ads manually and so, now scam websites are in first position.

Cool cool cool.

@fasterthanlime damn, it's my main search engine atm :(
@djlink yeah, and the bangs make it really difficult to switch away from it.
@fasterthanlime
@noodlejetski @djlink @fasterthanlime It's a bit tedious but browsers support bangs through search keywords for search engines. While it's additional work to set it up, it works faster than DDG bangs since you don't go through redirect request
@pj I know, I already use it for opening a specific subreddit. it doesn't work on Firefox for Android though, as far as I can tell. not to mention that it's a pain to set up all those search shortcuts, while with DDG you're presented with a ready-made list that contains almost every website that I could possibly ever use.
@noodlejetski @pj I've been using something like that since before DDG existed. Tiny self-hosted website that I set as my shortcut, so I type "q d xyz" and the q part is the browser shortcut and "d xyz" would be the bang. Obviously you need to hardcode your sites, but it's only one bookmark/shortcut per device and 2 more chars to type. Good enough for me.
