it is frustrating that qwant is not available worldwide.
really?
bout time. the current mobile experience is almost unusable
This is based on geckoview?
It's just a webpage, not its own browser: https://www.qwant.com
They have their own browser. I saw this on twitter on April but couldn't verify if this is true https://nitter.kavin.rocks/wkng_gecko/status/1380940738310119429#m
Ah, hadn't heard of that. The article just talks about the webpage, though, I think.
Are there any advantages to using Qwant over Duckduckgo?
It's European (French). DDG is American.
Also, in my opinion, the results tend to be a bit better with the topics I usually search for, but that might just be me.
