    Works very well. Add more search engines in-built. Change the icon and promote it alongside the DDG ublock addon when one searches for terms "search" and "privacy". Add omnibox and context menu in the title.

    I think this would be good if I could figure out how to use it. There are no instructions or examples that I see. Does this allow me to create my own "bangs" or just choose which existing ones to put in a context menu?

    Hi! Sorry to hear that. On first run the extension _should_ open up the options page (that you see in the second screenshot) for you to configure it. Otherwise, find the plugin by navigating to the special url about:addons and then go to the preferences page once you've opened the plugin page.

    The extension gives you a configurable set of context menu shortcuts to existing DDG bangs.

    AMAZING!!! I don't understand how an as good extension could have as few people using it.

    Works great, nice and light. Any way to change the listing order in the context menu ? Thanks.

    Thank you for your review!
    It happened to coincide with some free time for me. I've just submitted a new version with support for reordering. It should be available soon!

    Very useful. However, I would like to see a privacy and usage policy for this add-on ?
    If I may make some useful suggestions:
    1) Make list of bangs user creates export/importable.
    2) Allow user to change order of bangs (Move up/down in list)

    Hi, sorry for not responding to this before. I hadn't seen it.

    1) Good idea! Might implement this soon.
    2) Just submitted a new version to support this. It'll be available soon!

    Re privacy: I may type something up for the extension page. Rest assured that no data is, or will ever be, collected from this extension. The only outside world connection is when it opens a duckduckgo search for you. Feel free to investigate the code. https://github.com/adriangoransson/duckduckgo-bangs/tree/master/extension

    Would like to see a small icon beside the bang, similar to a bookmark/fav

    Hi, sorry about the late reply! Icons would be lovely, but I think that's only possible if I embed each of them with the addon.

    That would feel bloated, and I think very difficult for me to maintain with different bangs/provider and with new/outdated icons.

    Thanks for the rating, anyway. Glad you like it!
