DuckDuckGo, the engine search which focuses on protecting your privacy, announced that August 2020 ended with more than 2 billion searches through its search platform.
While Google παραμένει η πιο δημοφιλής μηχανή αναζήτησης, η DuckDuckGo έχει αποκτήσει μεγάλη κίνηση τους τελευταίους μήνες καθώς όλο και περισσότεροι χρήστες έχουν αρχίσει να εκτιμούν το απόρρητό τους και το τι προσφέρει η εταιρεία στο Διαδίκτυο.
DuckDuckGo saw over 2 billion searches and 4 million expansion plants. The company also reportedly has over 65 million active users. DuckDuckGo could break its old release record if it continues at the same growth rate.
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 does not track the content its users search 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.
