They said as useful as Google. Not that Google gives objectively very useful results. And I agree with them. I use DuckDuckGo every day and pretty much every time I have to add !g to send my query to Google because the DDG results are shit in comparison.
I’m talking about on the desktop btw. With adblocking and script blocking. I accidentally used Google on my phone yesterday and I think I got cancer.

What’s the difference between using !g and going to Google directly?
The results are still tailored to you on Google, based on past usage and tracking history. They aren’t with a bang.
Thanks, nice to know!
Same boat here. I set DDG as my default but still end up using !g around half the time.
