DuckDuckGo, the search engine that focuses on protecting your privacy, announced that August 2020 ended with more than 2 billion searches through its search platform.
While Google remains the most popular search engine, DuckDuckGo has gained a lot of traffic in recent months as more and more users have begun to appreciate their privacy and what the company offers on the Internet.
DuckDuckGo has seen over 2 billion searches and 4 million extension installs. The company also reported that it has over 65 million active users. DuckDuckGo could take it down old its sales record if it continues at the same rate of growth.
Although DuckDuckGo is growing rapidly, it still controls less than 2 percent of all search volume in the United States. However, the growth trend of DuckDuckGo continues throughout the year, mainly due to the scandals of Google and other companies.
On average, DuckDuckGo regularly conducts 65 million+ searches. The number is likely to be higher if we add searches performed through the DuckDuckGo API, extensions or applications.
The DuckDuckGo search engine is based on Bing, and indexes sites that have been developed by various communities such as Wikipedia. But the company has also developed its own crawler to create a larger index of search results.
Unlike Google, DuckDuckGo is more privacy oriented and doesn't track it content that its users are looking for. But the searching results DuckDuckGo's are not as up-to-date as Google's or even Bing's.
Google, on the other hand, says its search engine ignores privacy standards and monitors people across all of its platforms.
If you are interested in your privacy, you can try it DuckDuckGo. You can try it service installing its extensions and applications.
