just switch your default search engine to DDG, and append !g when you prefer google (or !s for the anonymous startpage version).

I type out DuckDuckGo once per browser I use, make it the default search engine, and never worry about the length again.

The concern about the branding is understandable, but I haven't typed "Google" or "DuckDuckGo" when I want to use their services in aeons, and I don't even make use of bookmarks.

Why Duck? Because it's already part of their name and their logo.

That would be D+Enter if you indeed use it regularly. Add it yo your bookmark bar => no typing :)

I did. My D+Enter is draw.io...

just type ddg.co/what you are searching for

Try ddg.gg.
