I use Duckduckgo for most searches, and when it doesn't cut it, I add !sp at the end of the search - this will instruct Duckduckgo to redirect me to that same search on Startpage. Startpage uses Google results without passing your own personal data on to Google (or at least that's what they claim). It's like a proxied version of Google search.

I would use DDG if they added a "!g" button at the bottom of their first results page.
Nice idea for a browser extension, actually. HN, make it happen, I'd happily use it! (I'm too lazy or busy too do it myself)
You can use '?' to edit the search input. So you can type your initial query, scroll down using the arrow keys, and if you're not happy by the end of the page, use '?' and append !g.
How many times do you need to tap the screen to accomplish that on mobile?
