Union Square VenturesDuckDuckGo builds a privacy-focused search engine that does not collect or share users' personal information, along with a companion web browser, browser extensions, email protection and a subscription bundling a VPN, personal information removal and identity theft restoration. Gabriel Weinberg founded the company in 2008 and launched the search engine that September; it is headquartered in Paoli, Pennsylvania.
The search engine handles about 3 billion monthly searches, and Apple and Mozilla built DuckDuckGo into Safari and Firefox as a default search option in 2014, years before the company added its own AI chat feature, Duck.ai.
