Cloudflare has just released a list of the world's most popular internet and social media services for 2022. Interestingly, this title is not held by TikTok, which topped the list in 2021.
According to the 'Cloudflare Radar 2022 Year in Review' report, the most popular internet service in the world in 2022 is Google, followed by Facebook in second place. Meanwhile, TikTok dropped from first to third place along with Apple. That is, Facebook is the most popular social media.
Then there is YouTube in fifth place, followed by Microsoft. Instagram is at number eight, and Twitter and Netflix are at number 10.
Cloudflare says they are using a new algorithm to rank this year's popular domains. So this year's ranking and the previous year's have different indicators.
Apart from that, they also combine several domains owned by one internet service. For example, Google operates google.com, google.pt, mail.google.com and others so Cloudflare aggregates the popularity of each domain under the name 'Google'.
"However, even though Meta operates Facebook and Instagram, consumers typically perceive the brands to be different, so we decided to group the domains associated with those services separately," Cloudflare said in its report, as quoted by us, Monday (2/1/2023).
The following is a list of the 10 most popular internet services in the world in 2022:
1.Google
2. Facebook

Cloudflare also notes that there is one social media whose popularity is rapidly increasing towards the end of 2022, namely Mastodon. This decentralized social media application has indeed become one of the destinations for migrating Twitter users after it was purchased by Elon Musk.
According to Cloudflare data, Mastodon started 2022 around a ranking of the 200 most popular internet services. But towards the end of the year his position rose to 60 ranks.
