I'm currently testing out https://beta.cliqz.com/

If you use Brave, you can easily choose your search engine with `:g` for google. You can also set your own shortcuts for any search box on any website.



It's all possible with Firefox and DuckDuckGo.


you have to use the shift key to type a colon though or if you're in mobile you have to long press. same with duckduckgo's exclamation mark.

I much prefer the Firefox method where you add the search shortcut to a browser bookmark and then if you sync your bookmarks to the mobile app.

I use gg for Google, gi for Google images. dd for duckduckgo and di for ddg images etc


custom search keywords have been available in firefox for at least 15 years and chrome since it was released
