![]() But it’s not and likely never will be my default search engine, not because of its funding problems but because it has no crawler of its own and relies on Bing. The search engine is OK, sufficiently IMO to include it in my 6 Web search engines, for the reasons I mentioned above. This said it’s true that Qwant has never been correctly managed, IMO, be it technically when trying to do too much too quickly, be it financially with one foot in public fund raising and the other kicking in private loans. ![]() As long as the site remains clean and efficient the way they achieve this is none of my concern. Regularly (90% of searches) are the top 3 mentioned if someone is bothered by fund raising it’s rather Qwant than the user. Plus 30 extra topic-specific engines (knowledge, translation, image/video, mapsĪs always, what we’ve installed and what we use regularly. Results, retrieved from Bing, are satisfactory ( is the most complete given its very nature). Now Qwant cookies are set as all cookies should be set as plain cookies, and only if/for the user’s Qwant settings. Previously cookie settings were set in the user’s localStorage, which is a bother for those who regularly cleanup that storage. ![]() Qwant has been rebuilt practically from scratch. You can see someone is driving the car, piloting the plane : the site is obviously well taken care of. The instance has proven to be reliable through time, and I had previously tried/tested quite many. SearX, metasearch engine, has several instances, not all work nicely, especially not all handle Google quests correctly. ![]() – DuckDuckGo : nice but doesn’t catch ’em all compared to Google, handled here via SearX – Qwant : Engine assigned to ‘Privacy Redirect’ FF extension to redirect Google queries – SearX, instance used here is : Default search engine I have six engines devoted to Web search (+images & videos, some + news)
