It's a great extension, I appreciate it a lot, though the statement that it supports all DuckDuckGo !bangs is false. It may have been true in the past, but now more bangs got added, and it doesn't support them. Take for example !gpo, a web I use often. I'd love to see this extension updated for the new bangs, if it isn't much trouble to the dev(s).
