Are you tired of getting awful, irrelevant search results from DuckDuckGo? Not a fan of the CEO's recent shenanigans? Have you had just about all you can take? I have, that's why I'm switching away from DuckDuckGo. The only thing I miss from DDG is the fantastic Bangs (!) feature. It makes it a lot easier to search other websites straight from your search bar. But what if there was a way to do one better than that, straight from your browser? Let me show you how to do it in Chrome/Chromium and Firefox. Now you can finally switch to Searx like you've always dreamed...
