Comment on I think DuckDuckGo would do better changing that Quack of a name

The biggest help for me to switch would be for DDG to produce a fork of Chrome that plugged DDG into the Chrome Omnibox as much as possible.

I use the Omnibox for almost 100% of my interaction with the browser, mostly typing in URLs to visit and accessing search history, all integrated with searching as I type.

If I could use the Omnibox like that with search as I type on DDG instead, that'd be excellent.

You don't even need to use a fork, regular 'ol Chrome'll do the job for you.

Go into the settings page, find the `Search` section, and hit manage search engines. Than choose DDG (provided DDG has been used by you before).
