DuckDuckGo: A short story<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Entrepreneur Gabriel Weinberg founded DuckDuckGo in February 2008. Weinberg designed DuckDuckGo as an alternative to regular search engines such as Google and Yahoo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While the search engine did not succeed overnight, it grew rapidly in popularity. <\/span>At the end of 2008, it appeared on the home page of popular platforms such as Hacker News and Reddit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Over the next few years, DuckDuckGo became known through several important campaigns. <\/span>This included making all browsing through DuckDuckGo anonymous, the <\/span><\/span>DontTrack.us<\/span><\/span><\/a> website and the famous billboard with the words ”Google tracks you. We do not.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Following the success of these campaigns, DuckDuckGo’s user base increased significantly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2012, the search engine reached <\/span><\/span>one million searches per day<\/span><\/span><\/a> . <\/span>It would then reach two million and 10 million searches per day in 2013 and 2015, respectively. Due to its growing popularity, Apple, Mozilla, and even Google have added DuckDuckGo as a <\/span><\/span>search engine option in their browsers<\/span><\/span><\/a> .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With an increasing scrutiny of <\/span><\/span>surveillance capitalism<\/span><\/span><\/a> , DuckDuckGo has just now reached new heights in popularity. <\/span>Between 2018 and 2020, the search engine doubled its volume from 25 billion to 50 billion searches.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When people first hear about DuckDuckGo, they usually raise their eyebrows at the name. <\/span>The name ”DuckDuckGo” has nothing to do with search engines. <\/span>Weinberg named his search engine after the children’s game ”Duck Duck Goose”.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
