Wait – there is still Yahoo search?
Meh, I still have to come here anytime I want an actual goddamn answer.
And I bet the bing searches are either accidental or boomers who dont realise its not google.
What is about the ai ones?
Holy shit, never thought Id be in the 1%
DDG frustrates me and their mapping
Wth is a Yandex? And it’s almost got 2%
Who tf uses Yahoo! Search in 2025?
I’m tied into MS corporatly, so no choice but use edge. Every time I need google I search it on bing. Just doing my part to keep google as the #1 search term for bing.
It’s crazy how much creatures of habit we are. Google hasn’t justified this share for a long time, but they once did and we still default to it.
So China has 1.4 B people and Baidu has less than 1% of the market share? That for sure cannot be “Global”, unless what they consider the globe is he US and Europe
Would be interesting to see how AI plays in the mix, hardly use dedicated search engines now, go to point of any query is OpenAI for me these days
This is total bullshit. Nobody in China uses Google as it’s banned. 1.4 billion people in the most phone addicted society on earth is less than 1% of traffic?
Ecosia ftw, hopefully the European search index will come soon.
I can see my stats in ddg. I have used it for about a decade now.
Somewhat misleading, since these global stats reflect international usage. Baidu is massive within China, but its global share looks small because nearly all of its users are domestic. With China’s internet siloed by the ‘great firewall,’ Baidu doesn’t operate internationally the way Google does but still accounts for a lot of the world’s search engine usage.
Where is Internet Explorer?
The fact that baidu, the default search engine for 1 billion Chinese people, is less than 1% is a huge red flag for this “data”
This isn’t Global data. It’s data from a company that sells stats tracking services to websites.
It’s woefully biased to the english speaking world.
I use brave and it’s not even on the chart
I’m honestly surprised Bing is in second place. I thought it died off years ago. I was expecting Duck Duck Go in second. I’m personally still a Google user. My main reason is just the design and layout feels the best or maybe it’s just the most comfortable after years of using it. Tried switching to other ones and the results pages always look so weird to me.
There’s no mention of AI, which certainly has taken a large potion of search market share across x, gemini, ChatGPT, and claude.
Youtube’s search bar is actually the second largest search engine in the world.
One thing that’s mind blowing about this is that by charging for a good product, Kagi doesn’t register on this graph but still has a viable business model.
There are a LOT of people.
I use perplexity for everything “search” now 🤷
