DuckDuckGo has exploded in popularity since the federal government’s surveillance program came to light two years ago. Remember the privacy-minded search engine’s best week ever?
The service has grown 600 percent since then, DuckDuckGo CEO Gabe Weinberg said on CNBC.
“We’re doing about three billion searches a year,” Weinberg said, “so we’re already pretty mainstream.” (Tell ’em, Gabe.)
Browsers Firefox and Safari also made DuckDuckGo available last year.
