Which search engine was founded by Gabriel Weinberg in 2008?

DuckDuckGo was founded by Gabriel Weinberg in 2008. Weinberg launched the privacy-focused search engine on February 29, 2008, in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

DuckDuckGo was created as an alternative to search services that built detailed profiles of users. Its privacy positioning became more prominent over time, especially after 2010, when the company began emphasizing privacy as a central way to distinguish the service from larger competitors.

The name comes from the children’s game “duck, duck, goose”; Weinberg said it was not intended as a deeper metaphor. DuckDuckGo is sometimes described as a completely independent crawler, but its results have historically combined information from multiple sources and APIs, including Bing. Ecosia, Qwant, and Startpage are also privacy- or sustainability-oriented alternatives, but none matches the founder and year in this question.
