Qwant is a French search engine that was launched in 2013. It is known for its focus on privacy and security, as well as its unique approach to search results. Unlike other search engines, which often prioritize results from large, well-known websites, Qwant uses a variety of algorithms to surface a wide range of content from a diverse set of sources. This includes results from social media, news outlets, and smaller, independent websites. Qwant does not track its users or collect their personal data, making it a popular choice for users who are concerned about online privacy.
