I’ve been using Qwant for about a month now. It’s pretty good! Search results are fine and the UI looks good.

The only thing I don’t like is the dang cookies popup that appears every now and then. It’s huge and annoying. Also, I kinda wish they had a paid tier.

I’m still daily driving Kagi, but on machines I don’t use Kagi on, I’ve been making Qwant the default.

Just use Tampermonkey, ublock origin or I don’t care abour cookies to zap the popup.
