The search engine DuckDuckGo it now performs more than 30 million searches a day. DuckDuckGo announced yesterday that it has seen a 50% increase in searches in just one year.
"It took us seven years to reach 10 million private searches a day, then another two years to reach 20 million, and now in less than a year we're at 30 million," DuckDuckGo said in a statement. a tweet.
The DuckDuckGo publish its traffic statistics, and you can see the rapid growth of the company over the last four years.
DuckDuckGo uses search engines such as Bing, crowdsourced websites such as Wikipedia and its own crawler to create the index of search results. The results do not aggressively search the sites like other search engines, and are not as up-to-date as its results Google or Bing.
That's the real power of DuckDuckGo for privacy. While other search engines aggregate entire profiles of habits and behaviors of a user's search, DuckDuckGo does not collect personal information, does not use cookies by default, and thus does not monitor search behavior.
DuckDuckGo also uses a method to avoid it leakageof searches so that the sites you visited through the search engine do not know what you searched for.
With daily reports of data leaks from large corporations, due to sales or due to errors, it's no surprise that services like DuckDuckGo are adopted by too many users.
