In 2021, the technology world was pretty stunned when the most popular search engine was knocked from its top spot of being the world’s most popular website. According to Cloudflare Radar’s popularity ranking, Google was knocked to second place, despite the fact that it remained the most popular search engine.
This was the top 10 rankings of the most popular domains of 2021:
- TikTok.com
- Google.com
- Facebook.com
- Microsoft.com
- Apple.com
- Amazon.com
- Netflix.com
- YouTube.com
- Twitter.com
- WhatsApp.com
TikTok officially dethroned Google in February 2021, though at first it was just for a day. As time went on, by August, TikTok was staying at the top spot on most days. Now, new data has shown that the social media app has not maintained its grip on first place. Now, Google has clawed its way back to the top.
These are the top rankings from June 2022:
- Google.com
- TikTok.com
- Facebook.com
- Microsoft.com
- Apple.com
- Amazon.com
- YouTube.com
- Netflix.com
- Instagram.com
- Mozilla.org
Twitter and WhatsApp have now dropped out of the top 10, being replaced with Instagram and Mozilla instead. It is important to note that adult entertainment websites were excluded from these rankings.
