I really appreciate that DuckDuckGo has managed to get 2.5% of US search traffic. Frankly that is impressive. It now equals that of yahoo, while obviously a tiny fraction of the overall market it’s likely enough to sustain it
Regarding generative AI for search. Brave and Google already do this to a large extent. I don’t see myself switching.
That said, these AI models are far better when you’re looking for code and recipes, etc so perhaps I’m speaking too soon.
