        Somewhat, because you’re proxying your searches through ddg, just like with startpage.

        Edit: Apparently I’m mistaken, you are accessing google directly with DDG, unlike with startpage where your query goes through them first. I’m a startpage user so I wasn’t really aware of how DDG does their bangs.

              No problem! Basically using any bang on DDG goes to that actual webpage, so if you need Google, it’s better to use !s than !g.
