Just out of curiosity: how often do you find yourself using !g and then actually finding a better answer?

[NoGravitas]

I'm not autoreleasepool, but IME, I find myself using !g about 5% of the time (counting only general searches, not things where I would be using another bang expression). About half of those times, it ends up giving me a better answer.

It's usually that the results are different, not better necessarily. I've done the reverse too; where I start with !g and then used DDG because I was unhappy with the results

For me it's about 10% of searches, using !gde mostly when I need localized results. That's about it.
