Custom Bangs Firefox

Custom Bangs

By: lys
An extension that provides custom bang shortcuts for quick navigation and search, similar to DuckDuckGo bangs but fully customizable.

Features & Capabilities

Pre-loaded with 25+ popular bangs (Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, GitHub, etc.) Only processes queries starting with ! - all other searches handled by your default search engine

Features

Easy management - Add, edit, and delete custom bangs through a beautiful UI Import/Export - Share your bang collections as JSON files Search & Filter - Quickly find bangs in your collection Persistent storage - Your custom bangs are saved across browser sessions Case-insensitive - Bangs work regardless of case Domain badge counter - Shows number of bangs for current domain Context menu - Right-click extension icon for quick actions Domain filtering - View/delete bangs by domain

How It Works:

When you type a query in the address bar starting with !, the extension intercepts it and redirects to your configured URL: !g cats → Searches Google for "cats" !yt music → Searches YouTube for "music" !gh firefox → Searches GitHub for "firefox" cats !g → Uses default search engine (bang must be at the start) Simply type ! followed by a bang trigger and your search terms in the address bar:

Managing Bangs

Click the extension icon in the toolbar, or right-click the extension icon and select "Options". From the options page you can: Add new bangs - Click "+ Add Bang" button Edit existing bangs - Click "Edit" button next to any bang Delete bangs - Click "Delete" button Search bangs - Use the search box to filter Export bangs - Download your collection as JSON Import bangs - Upload a JSON file to import Reset to defaults - Restore the original bang collection

Is Custom Bangs 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.

Custom Bangs requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
