DuckDuckGo, a search engine that is known for its privacy-friendly practices, has seen a huge growth in recent years. The company has been growing rapidly in both user base and revenue, and it seems that people are really care about their privacy. According to data from Google Trends, DuckDuckGo is the most popular search engine in the world with over 1 billion active users. This number is only increasing as DuckDuckGo continues to make its mark on the online world by providing an innovative search experience that is user-friendly and privacy-protective. This growth shows that people are interested in using DuckDuckGo as their go-to search engine for privacy-related queries. It also shows that DuckDuckGo is not just a simple search engine – it offers an innovative and Privacy-Friendly Search Experience that can be relied on for top results when looking for information about personal matters.
According to Bleeping Computer, DuckDuckGo saw an impressive search volume increase of 46.4%. The report says DuckDuckGo received 23.6 billion total search queries with a daily average of 79 million search queries by the end of December 2020. In 2021, the total number of search queries rose to 34.6 billion, and the daily searches jumped to 100 million per day.
This is a clear sign that at least some internet users are concerned about privacy, as they’re using a privacy-focused search engine. The rise of the DuckDuckGo mobile app could also be responsible for some growth.
While the growth is impressive, DuckDuckGo still has a long way to go before it catches Google. According to the report, Google has a whopping 87.33% of search engine traffic in the US compared to DuckDuckGo’s small 2.53%. However, DuckDuckGo is rapidly catching up to Yahoo, which has 3.3% of search traffic. Bing gets 6.43% of search traffic.
DuckDuckGo recently announced a desktop browser, which should further help its search market share, as users who download the company’s browser are far more likely to rely on the privacy-focused search engine.
