The DuckDuckGo search engine has taken over Google's control of Duck.com.
Google had acquired domain Duck.com when it intended to buy the OnNNXX video codec startup 2, although the deal was not completed. For history, On2009 was formerly known as the Duck Corporation. So he bought the Duck.com domain.
Η DuckDuckGo, για όσους δεν γνωρίζουν, ιδρύθηκε το 2008 και αποτελεί έναν ανταγωνιστή της Google, που στοχεύει στην ασφάλεια των χρηστών, καθώς δεν παρακολουθεί τις κινήσεις τους στον ιστό. Η εταιρεία υπόσχεται επίσης να εμφανίζει τα ίδια αποτελέσματα σε όλους τους users, unlike Google.
Originally problem with Duck.com was that it redirected to Google.com, which could be confusing. But in July, Google's Rob Shilkin responded to a Bloomberg reporter's criticism of the situation, saying the domain was now pointing to on2.com.
So, what's the explanation for Google owning https://t.co/UUh42lCV7I, other than to punch a much smaller web search engine? https://t.co/hkYWhj6UWA

However, this did not cover its founder DuckDuckGo, Gabriel Weinberg, who, in a tweak that was now deleted, sent his thanks for the new redirection in July, along with a request to buy the domain from Google.
Five months later, DuckDuckGo has apparently acquired Duck.com, which now redirects to the DuckDuckGo.com domain. The details enrollmentWHOIS numbers are not disclosed, but it appears that ownership was officially transferred on December 7, 2018.
