DuckDuckGo Breaks Records and Does Not Stop Growing in Users

DuckDuckGo is for many a perfect alternative to Google. It is a search engine that focuses mainly on security and privacy. Those users who want to remain anonymous on the network, who do not want their data to be exposed, have a good opportunity here. In this article we will echo the great growth it has experienced in the last year and we will explain why it can be interesting to use it.

Huge increase in DuckDuckGo usage

If we talk about which is the most used search engine in Spain, Google certainly comes to mind. It is the main and also by a lot. Now, as in almost everything we have a wide range of possibilities. There are many alternative search engines that we can use in our day to day, no matter what device we are using. One of them is DuckDuckGo.

DuckDuckGo Breaks Records

DuckDuckGo has had a very big growth in recent months. In fact, it just passed a milestone by reaching 100 million searches in a single day for the first time. This happened on January 11, just a week ago.

If we take a closer look at their data, we see that last year, in 2020, there were more than 23 billion searches . That represents 62% more than the previous year. A considerable increase and that reflects that users are increasingly concerned about protecting data and maintaining security at all times when browsing the network.

Anonymous searches without logs

What makes more and more users choose DuckDuckGo as their search engine? One of the reasons is privacy. It promises that searches are anonymous and that they do not leave any kind of record. This is something that many users value very positively.

Keep in mind that the main search engines, such as Google, track users to make a profit. In the end, personal information on the web has great value. For example, what sites we visit, what tastes we have, where we are to offer more personalized products …

In recent times we have seen a lot related to the privacy of Facebook and WhatsApp. This has also been able to push users to look for alternatives to perform searches without their data being compromised.

But something also very important is that DuckDuckGo is a good search engine . That is, we can find many other alternatives that are also based on privacy but offer very limited search results and without being a good service for users. On the other hand, this option is also very popular for offering something of quality.

Also, another issue to keep in mind is that it adapts very well to mobile devices . It even has an application. We already know that today the use of this type of equipment has gained ground with respect to computers. Hence, any tool that is optimized for mobile can be successful.

In short, although DuckDuckGo is still very far from Google’s market share, something that is evident, we must take into account the great increase that it has experienced in recent times. Something that seems to be a trend and that we will see during 2021. We also leave you a tutorial where we show some alternatives to DuckDuckGo.
