One browser feels simple uncomplicated fork of Firefox. Nearly a year, I have not been let down.
Just enjoy coming to Qwant. Every time I adventure out to test other browsers, or when Greedy browsers try hardest to make you login…I run away. I mean if you want to maximise true browsing time, you sort of want the browser to explore if possible saving all those minutes that big ad browser shuttle you back forth fill your an entire email account full of “prove it is really you”: you know the drill. Yess I have been with help of Qwant.

Beware!
This is from this company’s privacy policy:
They retain the keywords entered associated with a pseudonymous (NOT ANONYMOUS) identifier calculated from the User Account data and the salted hash of your IP address for 1 month.
(Note: They were almost fined for the “pseudonymous” thing but haven’t changed since French government owns about 20% stake)
The keywords are then retained for 12 months for aggregated statistical analysis purposes. Again only pseudonymous.
Qwant can transfer the following pseudonymized data to Microsoft:
Search keywords, browser information, full IP address (they use works like “may” and “possible” of course), then salted hash generated from your IP address, User Agent, and a salt changing at least every 3 months.
Finally, as part of providing new features, Qwant shares your IP address with Microsoft to provide you with contextual ads and better search results.

Very happy
Really impressed so far. I wanted a privacy focussed search engine and this seems to be perfect..
Can not import bookmarks
A feature to import existing bookmarks from other browsers should be available

Absolutely breath of fresh air
