Unduck#
IMPORTANT
This is a fork of t3dotgg/unduck and I am not the original creator of this project. Do go checkout Theo's hosted version at unduck.link for the original experience which is a bit simpler then this mess of mine :)
DuckDuckGo's bang redirects are too slow. Add the following URL as a custom search engine to your browser. Enables all of DuckDuckGo's bangs to work, but much faster.

How is it that much faster?#
DuckDuckGo does their redirects server side. Their DNS is...not always great. Result is that it often takes ages.
I solved this by doing all of the work client side. Once you've went to https://unduck.link once, the JS is all cache'd and will never need to be downloaded again. Your device does the redirects, not me.
How is this different from Theo's version again?#
This is primarily my personal fork to experiment with PWAs but I do have a few ideas that I would love to add to this.
- Bangs
- Search History (clearable ofc and all local)
- Dark Mode
- Settings (for things like disabling search history and changing default bang)
and then some more really ambitious stuff like:
NOTE
Umm yeah, I know I might not get to all of that and yes this is essentially me finally discovering PWAs and wanting to smash everything into one lol.
- Omptimistic UI chat wrapper (basically t3.chat but entirely on your own machine and completely free and unlimited and oss)
- Meta search engine as the default bang (so you can search Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. all at once) this one is inspired by mat-1/metasearch2 but without the middleman server.
