Qwant is THE search engine that respects your online privacy! Since 2013, Qwant has been the search engine that, by default, does not collect users’ personal data. With the Qwant app, your search history stays private and belongs to you, and your data is never sold. Unlike other search engines, we have no idea what you’re searching for online, and that’s exactly how it should be. On smartphones, Qwant is more than just a search engine. It becomes a fully functional browser that not only respects your privacy but also offers a fast and secure browsing experience with many features: ad blocking, tabs, private browsing, and more. The Qwant app also includes an innovative feature for discreet web navigation: the Zap button! With Zap, you can delete all your browsing data in a single click. No need to dig through settings or hunt down trackers and cookies one by one. Use it as much as you want before or after every session on Qwant. Take back control of your personal data with Qwant and join a community of millions who use the Qwant app every day to protect their online privacy and browse the web with peace of mind! Oh, do we really need to remind you it’s free?

For the most part…

For the most part, this is my 2nd choice chosen search engine for the obvious reason of feeling protected against the onslaught of gathering & storing of my personal information. I can’t say I know if it’s actually 100% safe in that regard, because I notice that when I press a prompt it brings up my search histories even after the website tabs have been closed, but it was only by accident that I figured out that they were there saved. I AM able to delete them, now that I know that they are actually there, but I’m able to do that on regular tracking search engines too soooo… I’m no tech person, so I don’t know all the ins & outs, & if I truly am NOT being tracked, but I still use it as my second choice after DuckDuckGo. That search engine truly doesn’t keep a record of my activity, at least I can’t find it. So I don’t think my review may provide a high degree of tech insight, but it’s (Quant) an effective means to search the web successfully while feeling a measure of protective anonymity based on what others in the field have stated.

I’ve been searching for a search engine that isn’t compromised. I’m not too worried about the tracking as much as I am with having truth suppressed and search results showing favoritism to one political party. Google is plummeting fast. It’s a satanic company along with Chrome (hence adreno-CHROME) yep, it’s right in our faces. But thank you Qwant for not suppressing truths and not showing search results that only your company supports. You allow everyone to think for themselves regardless of your political views and beliefs. Please do not change this about your company. Qwant definitely has a very bright and successful future ahead. Congratulations :)

Maybe Secure, but a slower browser

I heard about this browser from my friends and decided to give it a try. It’s been a week now. Looks like it’s built on Firefox model, as the UI looks ditto. I liked initially, but as days progressed, I didn’t find any value in this browser as this seemed like the slowest mobile browser I had used in a while. Safari or Chrome for that matter are ultra fast even when it’s a poor connection or slower WiFi. Qwant took me forever that it reminded me of the 90s dial-up connection. The same query after losing patience I hit it on my safari with DuckDuckGo as the search engine and it presented with plenty of results in under a second. I don’t know what you folks are doing differently, but needs a lot of improvement at least in my opinion and user experience. You need to crank up the speed. That’s why it’s a 2 star now. But maybe I will use it for another couple of months and update the review if it gets better.

The reason I installed it was to use qwant maps I found out that is it VERY similar to firefox's browser I am all for open source and privacy respecting apps which makes me respect qwant a lot more if you were just using a headless chrome and just said this is qwant but why make the qwant browser when you made liltle to no alteration of the open source browser that is Firefox and I still respect you a lot more for not collecting data and I like your mind set as a company that does little to no data collection but please work on the qwant maps and maybe do more with this browser and make it your own otherwise I had no problems with this app
