Qwant, France’s privacy-focused search engine, and Ecosia, a Berlin-based not-for-profit search engine that uses ad revenue to fund tree planting and other climate-focused initiatives, are joining forces on a joint venture to develop their own European search index.
Yeah, qwant, the same search engine with complete reliance on huawei and bing, who asked to deactivate adblocker to use their page. Qwant isn’t privacy focused, it’s just marketing
Thats why you use it via SearXNG, just like the rest.
Im just gonna drop this here

There ist allready an Open Web Index in the making
That’s awesome! I didn’t know about this. Thank you for sharing
Thats sadly the thing with non commercial work/science. It often dosn’t have a fancy product announcement that gets picked up by the news.
Qwant went to shit, this is not going to get better.
Promising !
