DuckDuckGo Continues to Grow, Processing 2 Billion Search Queries

Privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo has released its statistics for August 2020, revealing a new milestone: the search engine processed over two billion search queries in a single month.

The developers also highlighted that DuckDuckGo apps and browser extensions have been installed four million times, and the service now boasts more than 65 million active users.

According to Bleeping Computer, while Google remains the most popular search engine, DuckDuckGo is steadily gaining traction as more users become concerned about their online privacy—especially in light of recent privacy scandals involving Google and other major companies.

However, compared to Google, DuckDuckGo’s achievements are still relatively modest: the private search engine currently controls only about 2% of the total search market in the United States.
