preview

ByDuckDuckGo, the privacy-focused search engine, announced that August 2020 ended in over 2 billion total searches via its search platform.While Google remains the most popular search engine, DuckDuckGo has gained a great deal of traction in recent months as more and more users have begun to value their privacy on the internet.DuckDuckGo saw over 2 billion searches and 4 million app/extension installations, and the company also said that they have over 65 million active users. DuckDuckGo could shatter its old traffic record if the same growth trend continues.A Record Breaking August at DuckDuckGo!2B searches4M app/extension installs65M guesstimated active users (we don't actually know because... privacy)Each person that demands privacy online is a step toward a better Internet for everyone.  — DuckDuckGo (@DuckDuckGo)Even though DuckDuckGo is growing rapidly, it still less than 2 percent of all search volume in the United States. However, DuckDuckGo's growth trend has continued throughout the year, mainly due to Google and other companies' privacy scandal.On average, DuckDuckGo is getting 65 million+ searches regularly. The number is likely to be more if we add up the searches performed via DuckDuckGo's API, extensions, or apps.DuckDuckGo search engine is based on Bing, community-developed sites such as Wikipedia, and the company has developed its own crawler to generate its index of search results.Unlike Google, DuckDuckGo is more privacy-oriented, and they don't track what users are searching for. As a result, DuckDuckGo search results are not as up-to-date as Google or even Bing.On the other hand, Google has championed web standards, and its search engine allegedly ignores privacy standards and tracks people across its platforms.If you are serious about privacy, you can give DuckDuckGo a try by visiting their search homepage. You can also use DuckDuckGo by installing its extensions and apps.Mayank Parmar is journalist covering technology news, but with a strong focus on Microsoft and Windows related stories.
