Summary: DuckDuckGo, according to this latest data from Statcounter, fell from about 0.71% to just 0.58%; all the gains have been lost amid scandals, such as widespread realisation that DuckDuckGo is a Microsoft informant, curated by Microsoft and hosted by Microsoft (Bing is meanwhile laying off many people, but the media isn’t covering that or barely bothers)

“DDG [DuckDuckGo] was unavailable during the big Azure outage earlier this week; that should tell you enough about who runs the show” — psydruid a few moments ago in IRC
