With the 'D' and 'G' key separated by just one key in between on a standard QWERTY keyboard, this should really make it exponentially easier to get to DuckDuckGo's homepage.

#12Does an extra syllable really cause that much additional friction?

#13Interestingly transferred, not bought. Does Google buying DDG at this point make sense? Given their stance on privacy, it would allow Google control of the narrative..

#14DDG is great - have been using it for months and I really enjoy the results. Google searches seem to be more of an echo chamber whereas DDG results seem to be more representative across a broad spectrum of sites.

#16This is cool and I hope it leads to a rebranding. While I like DDG a lot, the name has always felt off-putting to me. I'd much rather say "I'll just search Google" than "I'll just search DuckDuckGo." Does an extra syllable really cause that much additional friction?

#17No mention of a sale? That seems so strange. I cant think of any other times that a business has given charity to a direct competitor like this.

#18Though this is a good move, DuckDuckGo should really try and work toward taking ownership of http://ddg.com . With the 'D' and 'G' key separated by just one key in between on a standard QWERTY keyboard, this should really make it exponentially easier to get to DuckDuckGo's homepage.

Also, rather than saying “Google it” maybe we can now say “Duck it”.
