Brilliant

Excellent search engine. No slower than any other search engine I’ve used. And European - not supporting the crazy man in the White House…

Wow witches witch doctors and nasty loser stalkers in youtube recommendations

I just wrote a 5 star rating but within an hour I take it all back i will say again "Wow witches witch doctors and nasty loser stalkers in youtube recommendations" - me

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

Most Excellent

magasinage

Habitant à Montréal au Canada, je suis fatigué d’avoir des liens de magasins en France lorsque je veux acheter quelque chose.

App freezing

I love this app but i would like to be able to have multiple tabs without the app freezing also being able to clear history without pages signing out when clearing history otherwise it is a good app to use

Awesome!!!

The best ever:)

Fast

Missing support for my region

It would be good if you add support also for Slovakia

Searcher

Currently the best and most easily configured settings for privacy, security, and reliable search results.

NOT PRIVATE

ITS NOT PRIVATE IF U KNOW WHERE I AM
Basically this app knows it like every other app
Stop lying about privacy

The best thing ever

I love this because it is one tap to discreet searching

Super moteur de recherche

Un super moteur de recherche français. Je valide

Excellent

Je ne retournerai plus sur Google !

The app has potential

I only wish it followed a bit more closely the Google app UX. Instead of the delete data button I'd like to have a new search button (or a new search tab being opened when I launch the app) and search results should open in a preview panel like in the G. app that then becomes a tab after the user interacts with it. Search results are ok to good and presented nicely from a visual / clarity perspective

Reminds me of how search engines used to be before censorship and AI

Very good search engines it is one of the best when it comes to searching for random topics and getting a variety of results but only one thing I want and that is the multiple page sources when I scroll to the bottom like section 1,2,3,4 and etc and not just 1 section. A majority might search page 1 of a certain thing in the search engine but when it comes to researching I want more sections of topics when I scroll to the bottom of the page so I can hit the next arrow to get more variety
