Yeah it is really odd I can’t understand why it does it because the initial reason I moved to DDG was because of their big marketing push on not putting results or users into bubbles.
There is no modification, it’s just a handy shortcut, read about bangs here. You are not expected to use !g for all searches, only for those that you wish to search with Google. It’s also possible to replicate this with browser search settings, DDG just has this built-in.
What is DDG g! Bang?

Bangs is a cool DDG feature that redirects your query to another search engine in this case !g is Google
Does it filter out the shite?
There is no modification, it just redirects you to the site
Does it prevent Google from getting your info or something so or what is the benefit in this over using Google?
