The current search market is ~4.6 billion searches per day. Google owns about 75% of the market, with ~3.5 billion searches per day. DuckDuckGo has about 12 million searches per day, ~0.25% of the market. Bing/Yahoo are the other big players in the search market, with between ~10-12% each.
- garysieling 10y agoI get 70% as many readers to my blog from duckduckgo as bing (and 3x yahoo), so I imagine they are well positioned to get a boost from tech people recommending it to their families.
- pmyjavec 10y agoRight, those recommendations would've helped with Google's swift uptake. I remember advocating Google to everyone and they were hesitant to try but gave it ago because I was a considered a 'tech head' they trusted my recommendation. If technology people start to prefer DuckDuckGo things may shift quickly.
