but.. that is obvious?!?
If I don't want ddg to know what I google, ofc I won't do it by typing in !g in ddg...
I actually use bang functions because I want to help ddg out by informing them when I'm unhappy with the results I got from them.

That's what they promise to not do and the whole point behind many people's decision to use them.
And it might be obvious for some, but it still makes no sense :-) given the browser is capable of doing it.
But yes, when I go to ddg and type in "!g <thing>" after having typed in "<thing>", I'm on some level hoping that this is somehow informing ddg that their search results for <thing> could be better.
Now, if they have somewhere stated that they are not going to do this, then yes, it would be bad.
