So, basically, that is the "site:" command from Google?

@HistoPol @mhoye no. It doesn't limit the search to a location. It runs the search on the bang service.

Thanks.
Apart from less characters, what fir, why not just DDG?

@HistoPol @mhoye I just find it convenient and wanted to share. Ctrl+L to get to the quantumbar and bang commands I've memorized for sites I use often.

Kind of you.
It does sound convenient. However, you seem to be trading off anonymity for convenience if I understand the disclaimer correctly.

@HistoPol @mhoye yes most certainly it doesn't maintain DuckDuckGos anonymity.

Thanks anyway, not for me then, alas, too bad.

@HistoPol @mish @mhoye I mostly use it when I know which site I'm going to anyway (so there is no practical loss of privacy). I also automatically delete cookies, use uBO on strict mode, still use uMatrix, enabled RFP, and do all of this through a VPN anyway. Not saying it's foolproof, but loads better than doing nothing at all.
