28% isnt very much when they have less than 1% of the search market share
This will only encourage others to do the same.
If you haven’t already made the switch, there are some guides here to help you:

EDIT:
If you want a cheat sheet for Search
– Kagi: Ad-free and better experience than Google, but it is paid
– Ecosia: Similar experience and supports a good cause
– Qwant: Building independent search results, backed by the EU
– DuckDuckGo & Startpage: Privacy-focused search
The above link helps more than just search and goes into more detail & options for those interested
It’s better to use private and decentralized alternatives rather than Google.
You know what is even better? Searxmg and/or degoog docker image you run locally.
I don’t love DDG, but Google has become absolute dog shit, so it is my default for the time being. Would love more competition in the search space, but I’m not holding my breath.
ayy lets all switch to the Bing reskin
Its just a shame duckduckgos app went all in on AI features.
I already learned to ignore and scroll past the ads, I can do the same with the AI stuff
Google is damn near unusable. I can search using the exact phrase of a YouTube video (a video so unique that it’s the only one) and Google will bury it on like Page 3 of results.
How can I love something you force me to look at?
„14 people accidentally went to Duckduckgo to search for the Google homepage“
128 users now HUGE NEWS
duckduckgo is pretty good compared to google, i switched years ago and it’s been a much better experience.
I use Bing for off the cuff searches, it’s usually a hair worse than google but a lot of basic queries don’t need finesse, and every 20 days or so I earn a $5 Amazon gift card.
Google has been becoming increasingly trash rather than the „OK I’ll re-search it in Google to get a better result“ alternative.
All the top results are paid review sites or AI synthesized content.
Sometimes I’ll stick „reddit“ on the end of a search, but I HAVE NO IDEA WHY GOOGLE GOT RID OF THE „DISCUSSIONS“ TAB which ACTUALLY GAVE FORUM POST RESULTS. It was the best way to get „human discussion“ on something rather than some corporate ad or Amazon review.
Just tells you how few people are using duck duck go.
28% is legitimately a large increase
DDG also let’s you watch YouTube videos with no ads if you watch through Duck player
25% increase of 40 users is only 10 users. All DDG is, is a wrapper for Bing.
Signed up that day, a big adjustment but Hell a little inconvenience to stand up to the technocracy is the least I can do.
Not only is Google AI often wrong, it pushes you to other crap like ad filled you tube videos! No thanks.
Just switched my default browser and I’m liking it a lot. Being able to turn off AI features helps so much
People still use Google???
Duck duck go search results are hit or miss for me. Sometimes I’ll put in a product I want to look at and it won’t even bring up the manufacturer or maker of the product. It’s really weird.
Now if only DDG would remember that I turned off their AI results.
I swapped to Kagi awhile back. No regrets.
I think Duckduckgo is getting worse somehow. My satisfaction with search results is dropping and I’m looking for alternatives.
Yup – I changed the default search engine on all my browsers to DDG today. I wish it was better than it is, but glad it’s better than Google.
Reborn of yahoo? Lol
I checked every browser I have on every computer and phone and literally in some cases just selected the first non-Google thing in the dropdown menu
I would rather not find what I am looking for than contribute directly to the downfall of humanity
which is too small a change to even register in google’s numbers. Literally can’t be detected.
We need to decentralize the net away from these MAGA(Mega) corps.
Switch over to DDG two weeks ago and its such a laid back experience that whatever the hell google cooked themselves into.
Eh I dont mind the AI results on Google if I am asking „what time does the NBA game start tonight“ its the productivity crap I hate and especially how it works. Like it gives you two answers with links but the links dont directly correspond to the answer you like
