DuckDuckGo

Founded 2008 · Paoli, United States

DuckDuckGo (Duck Duck Go, Inc.) is an American internet company founded in 2008 by Gabriel Weinberg and headquartered in Paoli, Pennsylvania. It is best known for a privacy-focused web search engine that does not track users or profile them based on their search history.

Revenue comes primarily from keyword-based contextual advertising and subscriptions, without selling user data.
