First time I've heard of this web search engine. Anyone used it?
I use it every day. The results are much better than Duckduckgo, but maybe that's because I'm French and it's a French service.
I don't know how good it is for non-French customers.
I have tried it in English and Spanish, the first results are usually the same as DuckDuckGo, but the rest are worse.
Been using it since I read DDG was discovered having trackers from Microsoft, which they've since removed - or so they claim.
I can say that 2 times out of 10 I defer to DDG, or even Google. But it's good enough and they are based in the EU, so they are forced by law to follow certain privacy measures.
If Mozilla teams up with them, I'm only expecting Qwant to get better - and it's supporting competition, so that's nice.
Considering the only news results I get on DDG are from MSN, I believe it, but also I'm guessing the net result is the same...
Qwant primarily uses Bing. Every single concern is the same.
I used it for a while - worked well and I believe it's made in the EU.
Better than DDG or Bing, but worse than Google
