I’ve tried it on my phone. Doesn’t let me search for anything because I use an adblocker. No dice
And whats the partnership about?
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.
used it a few times, it’s okay 👍
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.
Is Mozilla going to set qwant as default search engine ? Or at least stop setting Google as default ?
If no, then this is just PR crap no one should care about. Not that many people care about Firefox anyway (2% market share nowadays).
