I'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

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.

Interesting your mind went there. It's fascinating to see how people categorize things based on prior knowledge and experience.

Well, from this point on both are now true. You're assumption is fantastic. (assuming DDG actually STAYS that way!
