Google has ~90% of search where DuckDuckGo has <1%. A ~30% jump of DuckDuckGo is about 0.3% of global search traffic, basically a rounding error for google. Still, it's an interesting signal, but not nearly enough to worry Google. If the jump had been 300% that would merit some thought. | ||||||||

0.3% is definitely not a ”rounding error”. For Google it would mean roughly $650M drop in revenue. | ||||||||

That's users changing products in advance of a change, which is a relatively uncommon thing. We'll presumably see another bump when Google actually rolls out their changes. | ||||||||

I don't think you can even refer to google as search anymore when it spews bullshit rather than furnishing results | ||||||||
