The only time I ever need to use a google bang is when im searching for something specifically local like a restaurant. DDG uses apple maps and apple maps is complete garbage.

When I cant find something on DDG and I use the !g 99% of the time I cant find it on google either.

Funny how experiences can be so different. I find Apple Maps much better than Google maps.

Exactly why the freedom for users to choose between different software is so important :)
