User Reviews

I started using this because I wanted something a bit more private than the usual search engines, and it has been working really well for my daily browsing. The results feel clean and easy to go through, and I like that it does not feel overloaded with ads or distractions. It has become my go to search tool when I just want quick answers without feeling tracked everywhere I go online.

Is Qwant Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Qwant requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
  • High *** ****** ****** ********** ***** ***** ******** ******** ** ********* ****** ****** ******** *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Qwant is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.

Risk likelihood analysis details

  • Medium **** ********* *** ******* ** *** **** * ******* *** ******* *** *** ** ****** ** *****
