I just tried Qwant out of curiousity and immediately got a headache from the bright blue-purple color. Its UI isn't as readable as Google and I would find it annoying to use frequently.
Also, shouldn't EU Parliament web browsers follow the same standards as the EU requires of Google-- i.e. users are prompted to choose a search engine after installation?
That's not entirely true, and skews the actual facts, that while Microsoft Bing Ads network is used to generate revenue for Qwant it does NOT provide BING with the full user details of their users, but only with limited anonymous (pseudonymous) data.
Suffice to say they need to get their own search index fully filled and stop using Bing (or whatever US-based) data. It's a process...
