Pass. Qwant has had its share of controversies, regardless their results aren’t better than DDG.
If Mozilla was serious about this they would run their own Searx instance and let people choose what engines they wanted to use.

Has anyone here used Qwant? I’ve seen it mentioned a handful of times but I’ve not tried it myself.
I’ve used it a long time now. I find it to have much more relevant results than DDG did last time I tried.

Doesn’t Mozilla rely on Google for default search? Does this change that relationship?
Yeah… Things like this partnership, plus publishing posts against things Google is doing (https://blog.mozilla.org/en/privacy-security/googles-protected-audience-protects-advertisers/), might spook Google a bit. Mozilla rely on receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from Google every year. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
The fact that Mozilla is so dependent on Google is the actual problem here, diversifying where they get funding from is precisely what they should be doing going forward.
