Recently, an infographic listed the most visited Internet platforms. Surprisingly, most of the sites in this top 20 are widely known to the general public, although a few small surprises are present.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Google at the Top of the Pyramid<\/h2>\n

In 2000, the most popular websites were generally information portals like AOL, Yahoo!, and MSN, along with search engines such as Lycos. A decade later, giants like Google and Facebook took over, alongside e-commerce sites like Amazon and eBay. But what is the situation today? On May 6, 2025, Visual Capitalist<\/a> published an infographic on the subject, based on data from the Digital 2025 Global Overview Report<\/a>. This document displays the top 20 most visited websites<\/strong> for November 2024.<\/p>\n

It comes as no surprise that the giant Google<\/a> tops the ranking with 136 billion monthly visits. Next in line is YouTube with 72.8 billion visits, a platform owned by Google since 2006. Together, these two titans account for approximately 209 billion visits<\/strong>, a number that is almost 2.5 times greater than the total visits of all other sites in the top 20 combined (84 billion).<\/p>\n

Established since the late 2000s but currently experiencing a significant decline<\/strong>, the social network Facebook ranks third with 12.7 billion visits. Following this is the free encyclopedia Wikipedia (4th \/ 6.9 billion), followed by another Facebook-owned social network, Instagram (5th \/ 6.8 billion). The community website Reddit remains popular (6th \/ 6 billion), outpacing the adult site PornHub (7th \/ 5.3 billion) and Microsoft\u2019s search engine Bing (8th \/ 5.2 billion). The 9th and 10th places are occupied by the AI platform ChatGPT (4.8 billion) and the social network X (4.3 billion), formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n

Some Old Favorites Still Present!<\/h2>\n

Among the rest of the top 20, a few dinosaurs present twenty years ago<\/strong> still hold their ground, such as the e-commerce site Amazon (13th \/ 3.6 billion) and the portals Yahoo! (14th \/ 3.5 billion) and MSN (18th \/ 2.6 billion). Also noteworthy is the Russian search engine Yandex (11th \/ 4 billion), which has seen its popularity rise since its timid inception in 1997. Furthermore, two other significant platforms are present: the streaming app Netflix<\/a> (19th \/ 2.5 billion) and the Chinese social network TikTok (20th \/ 2.5 billion).<\/p>\n

Finally, let\u2019s mention another platform that is gaining traction: DuckDuckGo. This American search engine, created in 2008, is now the 16th most popular site with more than 3 billion visits in November 2024. The niche of this platform focuses on user privacy<\/strong>, notably blocking hidden trackers, forcing sites to use encrypted connections whenever possible, and allowing private searches when it comes to sharing personal information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
