17 Jun DuckDuckGo Bolstered By NSA News, Up 600% In Search Numbers
The little search engine that could, DuckDuckGo, says it’s usage is up 600% since the NSA was hit with privacy concerns some two years ago.
“We’re doing about three billion searches a year,” CEO Gabe Weinberg told CNBC, “so we’re already pretty mainstream.”
Mainstream? Well, that depends. How many people really use them? Unfortunately, not a lot outside the techies.
But the results are pretty decent, and they are improving. A Google rival there are not…yet.
