I had used it for a while in the past. The results were surprisingly good. I have moved to other search engines to experiment since then, but I have nothing bad to say about my time with Qwant.
Brave Search currently, but I am still in the experimenting and search engine-hopping phase. Henceforth, Brave Search is not my final search engine, either.
@dan@Adda Brave search is getting better and better. I’m personally using combination of DDG, Google. But atm I’m testing kagi.com. I want to write post on it, once I try the 100 free queries.
Has anyone here used Qwant? I’ve seen it mentioned a handful of times but I’ve not tried it myself.

I’ve been experimenting with other search engines recently so might give it a go.
Which search engines do you use now?

Interesting. Which other ones have you tried? I’d be interesting in hearing what you thought of all of them!

I was trying Kagi but I’m put off it now that they’re partnering with Brendan Eich. I don’t think I’d use Brave search, for the same reason.
@dan I see, what’s the problam with Brendan Eich, is he the former Firefox CEO?
He was only CEO for 11 days and was essentially forced out due to homophobic comments and funding proposals for banning gay marriage. He also spread misinformation about COVID-19. There’s a thread in Kagi’s forum about it here: https://kagifeedback.org/d/2808-reconsider-your-partnership-with-brave/16 and a Mastodon post here: https://chaos.social/@scy/111704636274463611
I’ve used it a long time now. I find it to have much more relevant results than DDG did last time I tried.
I would love to but it’s still unavailable in my country :/
