DDG's obviously gotten a massive boost from this whole issue: https://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=duckduckgo

I was a bit surprised that Firefox hasn't: https://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=firefox

but obviously it has a lot more inertia. (Or maybe everyone switches to DDG first, and THEN looks for Firefox, so Google Trends doesn't know about it...)



it is the #1 related term (duckduckgo firefox)

as of just now

also compare them: https://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=firefox#q=firefox%2C...

firefox jumped about as much as ddg recently, but that's a blip on firefox as a whole


Ya, that's what I meant by the 'inertia' of Firefox. It takes a lot to move the needle on it. The comparison is definitely illustrative though.

(The part about everyone finding Firefox on DDG was a joke.)
