It redirects to DuckDuckGo, the name is still written full size, and their stupid logo is still there.

Give me ddg.co or duck.com with no redirect, no branding and no logo and I’ll use it.

So what search engine without branding and logo do you use?

Not my point, I don't care if the search engine has branding and a logo, I just want it to be not cringe.

Well, there is this looking not cringey for me: https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite

Or ddg.gg - quicker to type.

duck.com too

a phisher's dream: anything remotely related to ducks might be a real domain
