Pro-privacy search engine DuckDuckGo hits 30M daily searches, up 50% in a year – TechCrunch
'Some nice momentum for privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo which has just announced it’s hit 30 million daily searches a year after reaching 20M — a year-on-year increase of 50%. '
'DDG’s search engine offers a pro-privacy alternative to Google search that does not track and profile users in order to target them with ads. '
'Hitting the first 10M daily searches took the search engine a full seven years, and then it was another two to get to 20M. So as growth curves go it must have required patience and a little faith in the run up. '
'Not tracking people in the first place positions DDG’s business to be able to keep on flying regardless of tighter rules incoming. '
'DDG says it has been profitable using its non-tracking business model since 2014, also making money from affiliate revenue. '
