Firefox has keyword bookmarks which is basically identical to bangs but you can customize them to your preference and they don’t require sending your query to a third-party remote service.
Just set the “Keyword” option in a bookmark and type
mykeyword fooin the URL bar to search using your bookmarkmykeyword. I use a lot of one-character keywords such asmforhttps://www.google.ca/maps?q=%s,gforhttps://www.google.com/search?q=%s,dforhttps://www.dndbeyond.com/search?q=%sand similar. I also have a keywordewhich runs a bookmarklet that fills in a one-time email into the currently focused input field.sure, it’s just a pain in the ass to set up for more than a few search options.
IDK, maybe I have a particularly bad memory but it is basically as easy for me to bookmark a URL as it is to lookup and remember a bang that they defined. Plus local will always be faster, more private and more secure.
