How long would it take to overtake Google at this growth rate, if maintained?
I'm not saying it's realistic to maintain the growth rate, just want to get an intuition for what the current speed means.
- pmoriarty 7y agoI don't have an answer for you, but just want to mention that Google is a moving target, and if DDG ever became a significant threat to them it's very likely that they'd do something to counter it, such as just buying DDG and possibly killing it off, releasing a separate DDG competitor product, or changing their own modus operandi. In fact, for all we know, DDG might be owned by Google already.

- colordrops 7y agoWhat does "conspiracy theory territory" mean, and why would something as commonplace as a large company investing in small competitors in the same space fit this?
- frosted-flakes 7y agoFor what it's worth, Google did give DDG the domain duck.com, even though they didn't need to. A four letter word .com domain that matches your company name is hard to come by.
