After Google's I/O Conference in 2026 announced the comprehensive AI transformation of its search engine, users became dissatisfied due to the lack of an 'one-click disable' option for AI features. Privacy search platform DuckDuckGo detected a significant shift in traffic, becoming the preferred alternative for users. Data shows a sharp increase in its installation volume between May 20 and 25, reflecting a trend of users voting with their feet.
