[QUOTE="436, post: 2985401, member: 16609"] My friend I understand your concern, I would be too, but... I don't think Google owns them... Here's what I came across. Cheers 🎄 Google has never owned nor had any part in DuckDuckGo, but some confusion arose with Google's ownership over the domain Duck.com which, at that time, was set to redirect anyone who visited the site to Google's search engine. "Google kindly tried to clear up this confusion in July by adding a DuckDuckGo link to the page," [URL='https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/12/18137369/duckduckgo-duck-com-google-acquisition'][I]The Verge[/I][/URL] reported in 2018. "Visiting Duck.com now redirects users straight to DuckDuckGo." That wasn't enough for DuckDuckGo who sought to, and were successful at, purchasing the domain off Google to avoid any further confusion. DuckDuckGo is owned by Duck Duck Go, Inc. which was started by Gabriel Weinberg. Anyone who wants to use DuckDuckGo can be assured they're not using a Google product in doing so. [/QUOTE]
