DDG is great. The instant answers feature is awesome, honestly I prefer it.
Let's not forget that DDG uses google and sanitizes the results. So google doesn't get your personal information, but it does learn something from the DDG queries.
Agreed. I have been using DDG for ~two years. Maybe once or twice a week, I actually ask DDG to search in google (with awesome "!g" or "!img" bang-commands). DDG works consistently great, and the new DDG is even better, with auto-completion, images and video tabs. And I'm using Firefox as well.
Save yourself half the keystrokes!
!img == !i
Huh, and all this time I've been using !gi
You, sir, have just increased my productivity by 33.3%.
DDG is great! They've come a long way in the last year, and I've switched to using DDG as my primary search resource on iOS, Linux & OS X. The amount of times I can't find what I need on DDG and have to revert to Google Search these days is less than 10% I'd say.
