IMHO 600% is meaningless number.
What's the estimate market share of DuckDuckGo today, that's the real question.
Do they dominate a niche? I think they have significant market share among HackerNews users.
- Drakim 11y agoYeah. If they went from 1 to 6 users it wouldn't be impressive at all, so "600%" is meaningless by itself.
- monk_e_boy 11y agoI think it's pretty meaningful for the exact reasons you state. If they had gone up millions then they would have used real numbers. Therefore the actual numbers are still pretty low.
- louhike 11y agoOn the Internetlivestats website, they are talking of 3.5 billions searches per day for Google(1). On the duckduckgo website, they are saying they serve 7 millions queries per day(2). So DuckDuckGo does 0.2% of the amount of Google. Please correct me is my logic is flawed.
