I’ve tried it on my phone. Doesn’t let me search for anything because I use an adblocker. No dice
Update your filters, it’s a recent issue with Qwant which uBlock at least have fixed.
My filters are always updated. It’s Qwant who should update their website…
And whats the partnership about?
I’m guessing that Qwant will now appear as a default search engine
Google is the default search engine because they pay a lot to mozilla, I doubt that would change
That’s why I said a default engine; Firefox comes prepackaged with a few default search engines, Google being the one selected OOTB
First time I’ve heard of this web search engine. Anyone used it?
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.
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.
Ever since it came out that the company they partnered with to remove personal information from data brokers was owned by a guy who’d started and owned numerous data brokers, I’ve become a little skeptical that they’re doing their due diligence on their partners.
Fair, though that was incredibly recent.
