Qwant Private Search Reviews

by ACWTFC

I wanted to like QwantPrivateSearch, and I did at first. I downloaded it last week. Today I searched for a book on Barnes and Noble and the website was telling me that the book was not available at “my store” I don’t have an account with them and was very confused. Looked at what it thought “my store was” and it listed the address of a Barnes and Noble I had bought a book from months ago in a different state. Whether this data was stored in my phone through my previous browser, Apple Maps, or whatever, the only way the website could have known this is by breaching the privacy it claims to protect. There is no way this could have happened if the browser protected the information it has promised it does.

I downloaded this last night and it was actually pretty cool at first. Not even 24 hours later it stopped letting me use it out of nowhere. I’ll try and search for something and then I get kicked out... so, there goes that. I wanted to really like this and was even ready to post about on Facebook, but it couldn’t even last me a full day. How unfortunate.

I heard about this browser from my friends and decided to give it a try. It’s been a week now. Looks like it’s built on Firefox model, as the UI looks ditto. I liked initially, but as days progressed, I didn’t find any value in this browser as this seemed like the slowest mobile browser I had used in a while. Safari or Chrome for that matter are ultra fast even when it’s a poor connection or slower WiFi. Qwant took me forever that it reminded me of the 90s dial-up connection. The same query after losing patience I hit it on my safari with DuckDuckGo as the search engine and it presented with plenty of results in under a second. I don’t know what you folks are doing differently, but needs a lot of improvement at least in my opinion and user experience. You need to crank up the speed. That’s why it’s a 2 star now. But maybe I will use it for another couple of months and update the review if it gets better.

I want to use QwantPrivateSearch but it is not yet ready. I can’t complete recaptcha ( aka “I am not a robot”) challenges. QwantPrivateSearch is not a supported browser. Solely as a search engine, it’s fine and does what it says on the tin. As a browsing app, needs more.

This is a great app for surfing the web. It limits cookies and keeps the tracking as minimal as possible as far as I know, but I have one problem. The history cannot be turned of on QwantPrivateSearch and you have to delete history one page at a time. There isn’t away to delete hourly, daily, or even delete all history. I don’t want my kids knowing I was on certain sites buying presents and QwantPrivateSearch definitely makes it harder by keeping everything separate and not grouping sites either. I had to delete each page individually so my kids wouldn’t be able to see what items I get them buy page.

Had to try multiple times to uncheck the “display trends on home page” I’m setting it kept checking itself back on. Weird right ....

No issue other than when browsing through Twitter images will appear in negative.

Quite unbelievable that it’s missing some basic feature, like deleting all the history at once..cant wrap my mind around it. As far privacy goes, its not really that private at all.

Very amateur work

by Linsiris

Works as expected, it does give peace of mind knowing they take privacy seriously. Also a widget would be very appreciated!

by Jack DaSilva

Not gonna lie.. it’s certainly not as user-friendly as chrome. It takes a little extra work in searching for stuff or saving images but the fact they value privacy and your data makes it a no-brainer to me. The peace of mind I get knowing my privacy is at least more secure than if I were on other search engines is definitely worth it. I deleted chrome off my phone after watching “The Social Dilemma” and only use Qwant now. I’ve been telling everyone else to do the same.

QwantPrivateSearch needs to be for all devices. Phones and pads. Hurry up and fixit please.

I miss having this great of control! I live in a rural conservative area. I typed in climate change and I don’t have to see assumed results because of my location. Thanks /social documentary and that cute French guy at the end.

I love QwantPrivateSearch but ever since I got the iPhone 8 that runs on iOS 11 it seems to force quit on me. I can’t even add my bookmarks now. Please fix, I don’t want to go back to Chrome and I don’t really like any other browser.

I've only used Quant for about a week or so and haven't used all the features yet, but like what I see so far. Overall very user friendly. I like how when u search, it takes you to a window within the search results, so you simply exit out and return to where you began your search. Biggest plus though is the 'igcongnito browsing'. I haven't used all features in QwantPrivateSearch yet as some require sign-up, but they look promising.

If you watched Netflix’s “Our Social Dilemma”, this is the browser for you.

They also offer Qwant Jr search engine for kids.

Very responsive and responsible app.

I’ve been using Qwant on my iPhone 11 Pro and my iPad Pro now for several months. It searches well, and I believe it provides some privacy when I use it as a browser. I feel safe with Qwant. I avoid all things Google that I can.

We try this application and check how much privacy this product can protect, support this product.

It seems to be much more than a search engine/browser what with a password database one can store in the cloud. Generates random string passwords quickly. I may recommend this for those of my tech-challenged friends and family I could never train to use 1-password with Dropbox.

by Robbie Norlyn

Built on a Mozilla core and modified specifically for private searching Qwant is perfect for this purpose. Unlike the main Firefox build this browser doesn’t rely on Google or additional third party tools to accomplish the simple goal of searching. Qwant is proprietary and isn’t a front for any data miners. Thank you so much Qwant for your dedication to respecting privacy and not slipping into making your user base the product.

I'm a frantic web searcher with dozens of search per day for my work or personal curiosity. I haven't found a case where qwant was failing compared to google. Great search engine. I use it on my iPhone and laptop.

Qwant promotes itself as a guardian of privacy. However, you can’t do something as basic as managing your bookmarks without registering to create an account/profile. Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of using Qwant in the first place?

I love Qwant as a search engine. But why do the updates for QwantPrivateSearch give no information about what has been improved or changed?

by Benjamin Gaertner

I like it

by ZacharyAndSteven

This is like google but better

by Very Fake News

Works great

by Madona.de.Lux

Love it! No longer need to worry if someone paid for search results to appear in a certain order. Also, do not want my data stored and sold!

by LaurentBourrelly

I already love Qwant.
Privacy is very important to me, and Qwant is the only search engine respectful of privacy.
Furthermore QwantPrivateSearch is great. The interface is pretty, and QwantPrivateSearch easy to use.
