!g has been my exclusive portal to Google for years (also on mobile). I never understood what all the rage was about until I went to try it in the "normal" Google. This is the first time I've seen that "lightning" icon. Wow.

Absolutely, my !g usage will drop right off when Google decide to add in their other SERP ‘functionality’.

I switched to DDG and I couldn't be happier.

I !g maybe 5% of the time.
