It also does that with other unrecognised user agents.

Personally I don't understand why someone would still use Google when duckduckgo has more features and is just as good for searching and in the very rare case it isn't you can easily switch back temporarily by just adding the prefix "!g" to your query.

I tried duckduckgo for a while and kept coming back to Google for "real" searches at work. It's not as good for searching in my experience. Yet.

Duckduckgo has become a little better than it used to be... but google has also become a whole lot worse.

This is the truth. I switched back when I got a new pc at work, and google was way worse.
