Une excellente extension qui facilite le passage de Gougueule à Qwant ! Juste useful pour les personnes comme moi qui se préoccupent VRAIMENT de leur vie privée ! Ça vaut le détour !!

Works beautifully very effective, but qwant needs to address its browser and add qwant lite. Vipravacy is the best extension I've ever enjoyed, I love it in qwant browser & chrome extension I use it in Yandex alpha. Brilliant

Qwant fait super bien le boulot concernant les traqueurs et les résultats de recherches sont bien meilleurs qu'avant et s'améliorent avec le temps. Depuis que je connais Qwant j'ai toujours pensé que c'était un bloqueur de traqueurs qui manquait et l'entreprise semble en plein développement alors je ne peux que recommander.
