This, 300%. If DuckDuckGo had no search capabilities, it would still be my default search engine just due to bangs, they’re amazing.
For non English speakers, you can use your language for Wikipedia bangs. So a search with !wen will take you to English Wikipedia, and a search with !wit to Italian, for example.
I’ll add that Brave Search also supports bangs – !ddg to use DuckDuckGo.
Softonic has to have made a deal with the SEO devil.
Non idea how their disgusting malware is always on top.
