Our immediate plans don't involve maintaing country specific domains. We might revisit this if/when DDG is available in additional languages.

Also, some users don't like that country level redirect and prefer the .com.

One solution, which does require a couple of steps is to use our Cloud save & save your settings anonymously in the cloud.

At the bottom of the settings page (https://duckduckgo.com/settings.html), you can enable cloud save, there is also a FAQ.

Right now, you can go to settings (https://duckduckgo.com/settings.html) & select UK from the region settings.

(we're still the only search engine that lets you completely turn off ads as a user preference for example)

You can do that with DuckDuckGo: http://duckduckgo.com/settings.html > Layout tab > Advertisements.

You can use "!gi" to search google images from DDG & "!bi" to search bing images.

I recently stumbled across a web-page from the guy whose professional bio is “wrote the backend billing code that 97% of Google’s revenue passes through.” He’s now an angel investor (a polite synonym for “rich”).

Any idea who this person is?
