Qwant is a privacy-focused search engine based in France. It was launched in 2013 and aims to provide users with a search experience that does not track their online activities or collect personal data. Qwant's interface is user-friendly, allowing users to search the web, images, and news without compromising their privacy. Unlike many other search engines, Qwant does not use personalized advertising, which means users see the same search results regardless of their previous searches. This approach promotes a more neutral search experience, making it appealing to those who prioritize online privacy and data protection.
