DuckDuckGo now runs 30 million private searches a day.
The privacy-focused search engine on Thursday said in a tweet that “it took us seven years to reach 10 million private searches in one day, then another two years to hit 20 million, and now less than a year later we’re at 30 million! Thank you all. #ComeToTheDuckSide.”

Online privacy is a growing concern among many people — and lawmakers — following a string of privacy related scandals this year. Facebook said in September that 30 million accounts were compromised after a long year of data breach news involving the company since Cambridge Analytica. In September Google reportedly faced an investigation for tracking users’ location without consent.
DuckDuckGo didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on its milestone.
