   Exploring Google: A comprehensive review of the search giant

   Google has been an integral part of my digital life for many years. Its search engine is unparalleled in its ability to fine relevant information quickly and accurately. The user-friendly interface and wide range of services make it a go- to for everything from email to navigation.

   🏁 Competitors: Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo

   👍 Pros:    Google's search engine consistently delivers highly relevant results

   👎 Cons:    Google's data collection practices have raised privacy concerns among users, as the company collects vast amounts of personal information for targeted advertising.

DuckDuckGo: Bang mentions (196)

• Google News Is Boosting Garbage AI-Generated Articles

  Seriously, I'm surprised at how many devs haven't seen DuckDuckGo's bangs: https://duckduckgo.com/bangs I use them all the time for work. !mdn for MDN, !dnab for .NET, !npm for NPM, !py3 for Python3 docs, !debman for Debian Manpages, !w for Wikipedia, !a for Amazon, !g for Google when you really need it. I'm not affiliated with DDG; I just really, really love it. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Google breaks search for Firefox users because of bad UA string sniffing

  I think everyone in the thread knows about "search engines" in Chrome and bookmark keywords in Firefox. The crux of the issue is that there are more than 10,000 bang commands in DDG. Setting up even a popular subset in any given browser is a significant investment. It's fine if it's the browser you use 99% of the time, but for those spanning multiple computers, phones, and other devices, simply using bang... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

  Where is the place to add personal bangs to DuckDuckGo? I can't find it in https://duckduckgo.com/bangs or https://duckduckgo.com/settings. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Wine 9.0 RC1 – Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS

  Kagi uses the same bangs as duckduckgo (and more), so there should already be 4 different bangs for it https://duckduckgo.com/bangs?q=protondb. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ever Wondered What Happens When You Type google.com in your browser?

  If you’re still reading, I’ll assume you want to know more. We will get a little more technical (Not too much, hopefully). When you type google.com into your browser, your browser needs to know Google’s address. Address?, yes websites live at specific addresses. You can think of the internet as a network of roads for that link computers together. If you wanted to go to the mall, you would get on the road and... - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• The basics of WebDev'in: Client/Server Architecture

  What you are seeing is a common representation of "you using your browser(Google chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari etc..)". Let's say you are searching down the internet for images of cute baby cats.
