Qwant – Search engine

Qwant

About this app

Qwant is THE search engine that respects your online privacy!

Since 2013, Qwant has been the search engine that, by default, does not collect users’ personal data. With the Qwant app, your search history stays private and belongs to you, and your data is never sold. Unlike other search engines, we have no idea what you’re searching for online, and that’s exactly how it should be.

On smartphones, Qwant is more than just a search engine. It becomes a fully functional browser that not only respects your privacy but also offers a fast and secure browsing experience with many features: ad blocking, tabs, private browsing, and more.

The Qwant app also includes an innovative feature for discreet web navigation: the Zap button! With Zap, you can delete all your browsing data in a single click. No need to dig through settings or hunt down trackers and cookies one by one. Use it as much as you want before or after every session on Qwant.

Take back control of your personal data with Qwant and join a community of millions who use the Qwant app every day to protect their online privacy and browse the web with peace of mind!

Oh, do we really need to remind you it’s free? 😉

Ratings and reviews

It seems better than the Brave app and that's saying a lot. But there is one big flaw with it. There is no forward and back arrow for web pages on the Qwant search. If you go to any other website it pops up like normally. If you accidentally swiped back on a website while using the Qwant search bar you have to find it again as there is no forward option for navigating web pages... You can't zoom in or download images from google images also I noticed. If this is fixed I will rate it 5 stars.

I got this Qwant app because of the privacy claim, the lack of ads, & the blocking of trackers, etc. However, since using it I've noticed that I have trouble opening many webpages and other apps as well. Also, whenever I open a webpage that asks me to upload something, the upload won't work, no matter how many times I reload. But if I try to do the same upload thru Chrome, it works perfectly. I don't want to be using apps that don't support privacy. But Qwant is really not working well at all.

Not good, until it stops asking me to do a puzzle or type a series of numbers EVERY TIME I open it to search? (the excuse given is 'lots of suspicious network activity'. Shall have to dump Qwant if it continues to waste my time with puzzle & number games before making search queries, even though it's an ok browser. Very disappointed.
