I agree, but when my 70 yo mother was visiting last month I watched her look something up on her ipad and she typed in "duckduckgo.com" to do it! I was amazed and asked how she learned to do that. Apparently, she learned it from me! She said she thinks it gives better results. Then I set it to her default search engine so she wouldn't have to type it.

If you want your mother to bake you cookies, tell her she only needs to type "duck.com," not "duckduckgo.com."

At least until today. Now I get: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).


ddg.gg still works.


ddg.co as well :D


Bro, I'M about to bake you some cookies for this shortcut.
