DuckDuckGo for Chrome Description
If you spend time on the Internet on a regular basis, you’re probably familiar with search engines and understand how they can enhance your overall experience by providing you with relevant content.
However, there are several engines out there and if you’re a fan of the DuckDuckGo one, you can give a try to the DuckDuckGo for Chrome extension, as it lets you access all the desired functions without efforts.
DuckDuckGo at your fingertips
Accessing the DuckDuckGo search engine can be accomplished without significant efforts while using this extension since it can be done by simply clicking the dedicated icon it creates next to your address bar.
Doing so pops a mini-window up where you can type the content you want to search and tick the checkboxes according to your preferences, whether you want to display meanings, use the “I am feeling Ducky” function or insert “Bangs” into your search.
“Bangs” let you access services easier
You can use a feature called “Bangs” to access relevant information on the website of your choice. There is an outstanding amount of “Bangs” but the application only displays a bunch of popular ones such as Amazon, Google Images, Bing Images, News, Wikipedia or Youtube.
Operating them is easy as pie as you only need to include the corresponding tag within your searches to return relevant results. For instance, you can search directly for images on Google by simply adding the “!gi” tag before your keywords or a video on Youtube by using the “!yt” tag.
Simple configuration section
If you are not satisfied with the default settings, you can adjust some of them from the configuration section, which can be accessed by clicking the “More Options” hyperlink in the mini-window.
Here you can set the app to show answers in the right panel on Google, remember the last search in the popup window, use POST requests whenever possible, show debug information and enable the “Safe Search” feature by simply ticking the corresponding checkboxes.
Handy Chrome extension that offers you easy access to DuckDuckGo
All things considered, DuckDuckGo for Chrome is a handy extension that can help you access the DuckDuckGo search engine in a quick, convenient manner by providing you with a set of relevant functions.
