About this app

What if your private life remained private? What if your searches didn't make you an advertising target? What if your movements were not used by third parties? Good news, it's possible: just download Qwant, the search engine that knows nothing about you and it changes everything!


A search engine that respects the privacy of its users
Launched in 2013, Qwant is a French search engine that guarantees its users respect for their privacy and the same search results for everyone. On mobile, the Qwant application (free) is also a browser that allows users to surf the web in complete confidentiality. Because we believe that your personal data is none of our business, Qwant never keeps it. They are not used or sold to third parties. That's why Qwant blocks advertising and tracking cookies. Ethics, relevance of searches, confidentiality: the Qwant application is both THE search engine and THE private web browser that gives back anonymity to its users.

A complete and easy-to-use mobile application
The Qwant application offers its users the same guarantees as on a computer. Even better: on smartphones, it goes beyond its function as a search engine and becomes a browser that, in addition to respecting privacy and providing instant access to relevant results, allows for fluid, fast and (still) tracking-free browsing. This quality of service also translates into search results that only reflect the keywords used, not your search history.


Discover it on our Qwant application


Qwant Search : the search engine that doesn't know anything about you, and that changes everything: zero tracking of your searches, zero personal data use, zero targeted advertising.

I installed this in 2020 after leaving Duck Duck Go and with every update it seems to get worse. Websites take forever to load, turning Bluetooth on while watching causes the video to stop and a new problem of losing connectivity with this browser while everything else will work fine. If I could give it 0 rating I would.

I've tried to degoogle as much as humanly possible but after uninstalling Google completely I found there was no alternative to Play Store to download apps from. So I had to reinstall it to use that feature. It would be nice to have an alternative on Qwant.

I like the privacy and the blocker on this app. One thing I have noticed is that the bar on the bottom covers the bottom of the web page making it impossible to purchase tickets etc.
