In a world where every click is monetized, DuckDuckGo has quietly grown to over 100 million daily searches by betting on privacy as a product feature, not an afterthought. Lucas and Luna unpack how the search engine built its own index, why its business model flips Google's on its head, and what it means for the future of adtech. They get into the numbers: zero personal data stored, revenue from anonymous search ads, and a compound annual growth rate of 40% over five years. Plus, a look at how DuckDuckGo's tracker blocking has reshaped the browser extension market, forcing even Chrome to rethink cookie policies.
