    That is really good to hear! I also added it as default search engine in safari and brave since I switched. Thought I have to go full in in order to give it a chance. Where exactly do you add the „!g“?

      The “!g” is part of something called “bangs” on DuckDuckGo. Bangs are prefixes to redirect your query to another search engine. For example “!g How to pet a cat” will redirect you to Google, searching for “How to pet a cat”

      Other useful bangs are “!m” for maps, “!gi” for Google images, “!so” for stack overflow.

      You can find more about it at the bangs page: https://duckduckgo.com/bangs
