DuckDuckGo Enhancer Extension

DuckDuckGo Enhancer or DuckItUp is an extension that provides few productive features for its users. DuckDuckGo is a very good search engine which respects users privacy. But it lacks some productive features. This extension aims to bridge that productivity gap.
This is an Open-Source Project - https://github.com/Sayak9495/DuckItUp

---------------------------
Why?
- Sometimes DuckDuckGo doesn't provide the desired result which forces users to move to google with the same search query. DuckDuckGo doesn't provide Movie or TV-Series ratings which is a bummer. Install DuckItUp to reduce your hassle until DuckDuckGo itself implements the features.

---------------------------
Productive Features -
1. Dedicated Search Google button. [Redirects to google with the same search query]
2. Movie & TV-Series Ratings info gets integrated when searched for a movie. [like year of release, genre, run-time, IMDb/Rotten-Tomato/Metacritic ratings]
3. Shows Movie/Series Info even when DuckDuckGo doesn't detect the query as a valid movie/series. [Suffix such queries with movie/series and DuckItUp will integrate the movie/series info into the view. Ex- Cosmos series].
---------------------------
This is an Open-Source project, any contribution or suggestions is highly appreciated. And this extensions in no way related to official works of the DuckDuckGo team. This is an independent project.
