DuckDuckGo

Private search and online protection

DuckDuckGo builds privacy-preserving consumer internet products: a search engine, browsers for Mac, Windows, iOS and Android, a paid subscription, and Duck.ai, which lets people use ChatGPT, Claude and other models without the conversations being tied back to them. The company describes its mission as raising the standard of trust online, and its own structure follows from that — founded in 2008, profitable since 2014, now exceeding $100 million in annual revenue with a remote-first team of over 300 and compensation held identical within each professional level regardless of location.
