User Reviews

Qwant Private Search is highly regarded for strong privacy, easy setup, and solid search quality, plus good history/data deletion controls and a privacy-respecting, non–US-based stance. Common drawbacks include intrusive ads and a call for a built-in ad blocker, mixed feelings about AI features, occasional reliability issues, and concerns about history being stored.

Pros

Strong privacy and not tracking compared with mainstream search engines
Easy to configure with a user-friendly UX and clear privacy controls
High-quality, varied search results with a privacy-respecting approach
Good history/data deletion controls and transparency around data
Not US-based, appealing as a privacy-focused alternative

Cons

Ads and pop-ups can be intrusive; users want a built-in ad blocker
AI features presence is controversial; some users prefer no AI or opt-out options
Reliability issues: search can be unreliable or intermittently unavailable at times
Some concerns about search history being stored or visible despite deletion, raising privacy questions

Recent reviews

Long time fan of Qwant, but the app hasn’t seen an update in nearly a year. What’s happening? Has it been abandoned?

Thank you for a product the humans can control, where every nuance of existence is our own and not simply another coin in the coffers of the tech bros. Using it feels like search before it went stupid- you look up things, you get actual answers- not hyperbole, AI opinion or forced AI banter/ offers to chat more about it. I'm 50. I use search to ask of a basic query, in hopes of a series of possible matches. As it should be. This feels more organic and useful, less product and sponsored /paid responses and more actual info with links that match, not chosen by who paid more to be ranked. I'm in the US, and I appreciate your sharing this with us. Thank you for this tiny bit of normalcy💜
