I'm seeing this trend (it is a personal statement), and if I look at Googles popularity in Google Trends [1] it's going down in the last 5 years. It's still huge compared to privacy first products like DuckDuckGo [2].
Again, it's my view around me. I didn't have my business yet so it could be that my eyes are more open to privacy first products.

- harianus 8y agoIt was based on that, but if I look at market share of Google Search in America [1] it goes down for quite some years already.

- davidcbc 8y agoI'm not sure that the trend of fewer people googling Google on Google means fewer people are using Google.
- harianus 8y agoIt does: https://www.statista.com/statistics/267161/market-share-of-search-engines-in-the-united-states/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/267161/market-share-of-s...
- davidcbc 8y agoThat's closer to the point, but market share dropping only implies fewer users if the total number of users is stagnant. If the search market is still growing it could just mean Google is growing at a slower rate than other search engines.
