DuckDuckGo Buys duck.com Domain Name From Google
DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg confirmed to me that the Duck.com domain name had been transferred to DuckDuckGo’s possession.
In a statement, Gabriel said:
We’re pleased Google has chosen to transfer ownership of Duck.com to DuckDuckGo. Having Duck.com will make it easier for people to use DuckDuckGo.
The Duck.com domain name has now started forwarding to DuckDuckGo.com.
Gabriel did not mention any purchase, simply stating that Google had chosen to transfer ownership of the domain to his company.
Search giant Google acquired the Duck.com domain name in 2010 with the acquisition of On2, a video codec company.
