- shmerl 13y agoI've never heard of this game. I thought that the name hints to the duck test: "if it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_test https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_test I.e. that Duck Duck Go is what it looks it is - it's a search engine. And not some tool which secretly harvests data of its users for its own benefit.
