Yeah, the paper shows a startling lead for Google, more than I would have expected.

I try to swap to DDG every so often (usually once a year, giving it about a month), but every time search ends up being frustrating enough so I don't stick around. Nevermind their boneheaded decision of using Apple Maps over something that actually wants to be useful like OpenStreetMap. But what I didn't expect was just how big the difference between the two is when analyzed, damn.
