> if they are so bad, why competitors don't get a bigger market share?
Two things:
1. https://duckduckgo.com/traffic DDG has seen exponential adoption(yes actually mathematical exponential it seems) until last year. Now its traffic just increases at steady rate that most growth hackers would envy.
2. this happens despite their search results being just as bad as Googles: they (pr probably Bing) also sends me tons of completely irrelevant results because they ignore what I write in favour of what they think I write or want me to search for.
DuckDuckGo.com is my go to not because it is better but because:
- it is equally good now
- moving from DDG to Google is faster (just add !g)
- they don't have a history of showing me irrelevant and insulting ads.
