## Key Details

The shift in user behavior is becoming increasingly quantifiable. According to recent data released by DuckDuckGo, visits to its dedicated no-AI search page (noai.duckduckgo.com) have jumped by nearly 30% week-over-week. This growth coincides with the broader rollout of Google's AI Overviews, which replaced the traditional list of search results with AI-generated responses for millions of users.

P2 Badge Correct the no-AI traffic growth metric

The cited June 1 story is about visits to noai.duckduckgo.com more than tripling, while the roughly 30% figure belongs to app/install growth from the earlier coverage. As written, this line misstates the article's central statistic for readers and conflicts with the post's own source link; please change the traffic metric or make clear that 30% refers to installs, not No-AI page visits.
