#52This 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?
Although as noted by a person responding here "I'll duck it" wouldn't be bad.

Tangential to your point (.com is far more widely recognized) ddg.gg is what I use because it is so much easier.
Even practical, since in browsers you can type "ddg" and press ctrl-enter and have it do the .com for you. I've found it's easier to just make ddg my default search engine though ;)
