> Secondly, with the kind of minuscule market share DDG has, they or their users can hardly get impacted by a couple hours' block

I would like to know the exact market share of DDG in India.

Also people who use DDG use it as their search engine. It would impact that "minuscule" percent of people the same way the majority of people would get impacted if google.com was banned for a couple of hours.

> If anything, Indian govt. made them a favor by making them more famous

Really?

> I for one don't recall #DDG ever trend on Twitter in recent history

So it's not that minuscule market share?
