DuckDuckGo: Bang VS Removaly

Check out https://duckduckgo.com/bangs you can dump into pretty much any site, Wikipedia, YouTube, Spotify, Google Translate from the DDG search bar if you have a few favorite bangs memorized. You can put the ! anywhere in the query for it to be picked up as well. - Source: Hacker News / about 24 hours ago

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

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.

Use a site like Removaly. They scan every day to ensure instances of personal information stay off, even if and when they do come back. No other service scans daily (most are monthly or quarterly). Source: over 1 year ago

Once your address is out there it's pretty difficult to get it down. That said, you can use a service like Removaly (the one I created with a fellow redditor) to make sure people search sites aren't posting your address for anyone to easily find from a simple Google search. Source: over 1 year ago

I founded Removaly with a fellow redditor and would be happy to give you a discount & help in any other way I can 👍. Source: over 1 year ago

You're better off going with a comparatively priced service that is actually US-based and doesn't cater to data brokers by playing both sides of the field. I co-own one such service, Removaly. Happy to answer any questions you may have about data removal in general. Source: over 1 year ago

The sites that sell it all offer an opt out process though. There are services like Removaly (that I created) that will find / remove your information from these sites. Source: over 1 year ago
