I tried DDG for little more than a week about a year a go and it made me realize how much I use the search suggestion feature in Chrome. The lack of that feature using DDG really annoyed me. Often I don't know the exact spelling of the thing I'm looking for or the best way to phrase my question (English being my third language), and the suggestions I get in chrome just by typing a few letters in the address bar is really great. And often times I'm just looking for how to spell a word and with the suggestions I don't even have to leave the page I'm on.

Adds in a browser search engine option that targets duckduckgo, but uses google for autocomplete/suggestions.

Wow, thank you for pointing this out to me. I think it's time I give DDG a second chance.
And there's no good reason not to do the encrypted install.
Just installed it. Works well.
The DDG + Google Suggest Plugin would be of interest to you: http://ddgg.nfriedly.com/

It gives you suggestions from Google but runs the search on DDG.
