DuckDuckGo !bangs but Faster Extension

WARNING: It is highly recommend that you set DuckDuckGo as your default search engine. Learn how to do that here: https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/desktop/chrome/

\"DuckDuckGo !bangs but Faster\" replaces the requests and redirects to DuckDuckGo's servers needed to handle !bangs by processing them client-side.
This leads to a noticeable improvement in initial page load time, with at least a >30% improvement in paint time on high-speed connections and possibly higher for users on mobile networks with higher latency.

This extension supports all DuckDuckGo !bangs.
