Bangs for Google Firefox

Bangs for Google

Use DuckDuckGo Bangs in the Google Search

Features & Capabilities

Bangs for Google is a Chrome extension that integrates DuckDuckGo's popular "Bangs" feature into your Google Search experience. This seamless tool allows users to use !bang commands directly within Google Search or the Omnibox, instantly redirecting to DuckDuckGo for specific searches.

Utilizing the Chrome "webRequest" API, the extension quickly detects when you enter a !bang command in Google and redirects accordingly, without collecting any user data. This extension requires permissions to access Google search queries and handle web requests for smooth functionality.

Open source and privacy-conscious, "Bangs for Google" offers a smarter, faster way to leverage the power of DuckDuckGo within the familiar Google environment. For questions, issues, or to contribute, visit the project's GitHub repository.

Is Bangs for Google Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Bangs for Google requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
