Does that actually enhance privacy at all? Or is it basically the same as using Google?
Somewhat, because you’re proxying your searches through ddg, just like with startpage.
Edit: Apparently I’m mistaken, you are accessing google directly with DDG, unlike with startpage where your query goes through them first. I’m a startpage user so I wasn’t really aware of how DDG does their bangs.
It isn’t like Startpage at all. You are still accessing Google from your PC and IP.
Oh I didn’t know that. Thanks for correcting me, I’ll update my comment.
No problem! Basically using any bang on DDG goes to that actual webpage, so if you need Google, it’s better to use !s than !g.
Same as using Google
Isn’t it worse? Now two search engines know what you are searching for
