JAKARTA - This year TikTok was named the most popular website, and managed to beat the position of Google and Meta's Facebook.
The data was obtained from Cloudflare, a website security and performance company. Previously, TikTok was in the 7th and 8th positions of Cloudflare's list, but it was surprisingly number one this year.

Reporting from NBC News, Thursday, December 23, because TikTok is first, it means Google is in second place. Then behind Google this year, Cloudflare ranked Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, YouTube, Twitter, and WhatsApp.
In the second year of the pandemic, social media domains continue to be high in our rankings. The nine major social media apps are all on our list of the 100 most popular global domains. We can see that TikTok is taking Facebook off its crown as the most popular social media website domain in our ranking. ," said Cloudflare.
Before being named the most popular website version of Cloudflare, TikTok is also predicted to become the third largest social network in the world, just behind Facebook and Instagram by 2022 based on data from Insider Intelligence.
