User reviews

Qwant is praised as a reliable, privacy-respecting European search engine that handles specialized queries well and offers a good alternative to Google. Users appreciate its consistent quality and commitment to not tracking them. However, it lacks AI-enabled answer features found in competitors, depends on Bing for results at present, and some users report being blocked after a few days. The add-on is viewed positively overall with excitement for its future developments in building a unique European search index.

Pros

Privacy-focused search engine that does not track users
Good for specialized and detailed queries like literary and documentary research
European-developed alternative to Google with a virtuous approach
Reliable and consistent search results without errors
Collaborates with other European search projects aiming for an independent search index

Cons

Lacks AI-powered answers like those offered by other engines such as Deepfind
Search results currently based on Bing, which may limit uniqueness or diversity
Some users experience being blocked after a few days of use
