To the webmasters here on HN: Do you see this reflected in higher user numbers coming from DuckDuckGo over time? I run a website too. Let me check the stats... So according to Google Analytics over the last 30 days, 0.7% of my visitors came from DDG. Not bad. That is more then half of Bing, from which 1.2% of my visitors come. Over time, the DuckDuckGo trend does not look as exponential as in their chart though. More like a linear growth that about doubled from early 2019 to now. But that could be due to many factors of course. Blocked analytics being one.

56.8% google 38.6% direct 1.44% bing 0.34% startpage 0.3% ecosia 0.27% DDG But I feel like non-google users are more likely to block GA, so these stats are probably skewed.

Congrats to DuckDuckGo! It's amazing to see a privacy-first Google alternative making such great progress! I personally contribute with a few searches every day :) Just checked the stats for our startup: December: Google 5.3k visitors DDG 589 visitors Bing 57 visitors This month it looks a bit closer: Google 2.8k DDG 378 Bing 36

If users are using the DuckDuckGo mobile app or extension its baked in tracker blocker does block a lot of analytics tools so there is likely a large level of under reporting especially on the mobile side.

In December: 1. Google (82.75%) 2. Direct (6.33%) 3. Bing (3.63%) 4. DuckDuckGo (1.85%) 6. Yahoo (0.94%) Kind of upsetting that as of January 1st my website was delisted from Bing + DuckDuckGo for no apparent reason meaning that my traffic is down by 5%. If anyone has any contacts within the Bing team I'd be really interested to know why my site was removed.
