The “Qwant” search engine was co-founded in 2013 by Eric Leandri and Jean Manuel Rozan. As I write this article, they have a team of over 160 people in their offices in Paris, Nice and Rouen, and are expanding their efforts to introduce this respected French search engine as a serious alternative to Google.
Indeed, this French search engine has nothing to envy from giants like Google, Bing, or Yahoo.
In fact, there are more advantages than disadvantages to using it on a daily basis!
Let’s take a look:
“Qwant” makes user privacy its top priority:
– It does not place cookies on your devices.
– It stores no search history.
– And it guarantees your anonymity.
In the interests of transparency, this search engine has shared its source code with the CNIL, so they can verify its privacy practices.
As you can see, privacy is its top priority—but fortunately, it doesn’t stop there: it also offers an enriched search experience!
It’s capable of delivering the best possible search results without ever trying to find out who you are or what you do.
“Qwant” further stands out with its search tabs, going beyond the standard ‘News’, ‘Images’, and ‘Videos’ tabs, by including a dedicated social media tab as well as a shopping tab.
You’ll also find a music category featuring ‘Albums’, ‘Artists’, and ‘Titles’ tabs, along with a special ‘Junior’ section designed for children aged 6 to 13, which includes an ‘Education’ tab alongside the most popular categories.
Not forgetting “Qwant Maps”, “Qwant Causes”, and more.
All of this comes in a simple, user-friendly interface.
We can also add to the list of advantages:
– It uses a limited number of ads (2 per page).
– It doesn’t change the order of results with every update.
– It doesn’t alter how websites appear in its results according to its own criteria.
– And it pays its taxes in France!
In short, why not try QWANT and protect your privacy?
