Yang!

Yet Another Bangs anywhere Firefox extension
Bangs! Everywhere. Anywhere. Right from the URL bar or from your favorite search engine. Blazingly fast redirections. Bangs are resolved locally, without DuckDuckGo as an intermediary. The numbers speak for themselves. More than 15 supported search engines and 13,500 bangs to choose from.



Really? Another one?

Was this necessary? Probably not. There are dozens of extensions that already provide a similar functionality to Yang! (see Related Extensions).

BUT, I wasn't able to find one that simultaneously:

  1. Supported bangs directly from the URL bar.
  2. Redirected directly, without querying to DuckDuckGo to resolve the bang1.
  3. Worked on every major search engine out there.

Yang! is an add-on that doesn't feel old.

1 This greatly reduces the redirection times, as shown by DuckDuckGo !Bangs but Faster.


How does it work?

Simply install the extension and then use any of the supported DuckDuckGo bangs.


Bangs can be used at the beginning or at the end of the query, e.g.:

!deepl I love bangs and I'm not talking about hair.

is equivalent to

I love bangs and I'm not talking about hair. !deepl

Bangs are resolved locally, without sending any request to DuckDuckGo, which makes the process much faster.

FAQs

Does it work on Google Chrome?


No clue, I don't have that package installed on my system. I will not give support to it myself, but PRs are welcome.
