Batu69 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 DuckDuckGo revealed it has hit a milestone of 14 million searches in a single day. In addition, the search engine is celebrating a combined total of 10 billion searches performed, with 4 billion searches conducted in December 2016 alone. For a niche search engine that many people don’t know exists, that’s some notable year-over-year growth. Around this same time last year, DuckDuckGo was serving 8–9 million searches per day on average. DuckDuckGo is a search engine which has built its reputation on privacy and transparency. All searches are performed anonymously, meaning the company doesn’t track or record data about its users. It’s also one of the most transparent search engines in the sense that it makes its own data publicly available for everyone to see. According to the company, it is growing faster than ever, which could be credited to the fact that people are actively looking for ways to reduce their digital footprint. DuckDuckGo cites a study from Pew Research which states: “40% think that their search engine provider shouldn’t retain information about their activity.” Staying true to its mission, the company donated $225,000 to nine organizations that are also dedicated to raising the standard of trust online. DuckDuckGo is on the hunt for privacy-focused organizations to donate to this year, so if you have any in mind give them a shout.

Fallon Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Used it at times. People who promote the Duck for money can claim it's better. I will still consider Google's search algorithms a handy extension of my memory. Most of the time that's much more important to me than the anonymity crap.

Just does not give me good results as much as Google does here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
