Summary
WARNING: It is highly recommend that you set DuckDuckGo as your default search engine. Learn how to do that here: https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/desktop/firefox/ "DuckDuckGo !bangs but Faster" replaces the requests and redirects to DuckDuckGo's servers needed to handle !bangs by processing them client-side. This leads to a noticeable improvement in initial page load time, with at least a >30% improvement in paint time on high-speed connections and possibly higher for users on mobile networks with higher latency. This extension supports all DuckDuckGo !bangs. To learn more about DuckDuckGo !bangs, visit duckduckgo.com/bang.
