User reviews
Je souhaite vous faire part d’un problème récurrent que je rencontre avec votre moteur de recherche. Bien que celui-ci soit très performant et efficace, il arrive fréquemment qu’il bloque de manière aléatoire, supposant à tort que je suis un robot.
Mon IP est alors bloqué !
Ces interruptions sont non seulement frustrantes, mais elles rendent également l’outil difficilement exploitable dans le cadre de mes recherches régulières. Une fois, cela peut être compréhensible, mais la fréquence de ces blocages devient problématique.
Je vous serais reconnaissant(e) de bien vouloir examiner ce dysfonctionnement et d’apporter une solution pour améliorer l’expérience utilisateur.
PS : je n'ai aucun problème avec d'autres services ou moteur de recherche, Mon Bloqueur de PUB ADGUARD est bien désactivé comme c'est conseillé.

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.
