MODERATORS
Disturbing for having their slogan as, "the search engine that doesn't know anything about you"
I guess they meant, "doesn't know anything about you... Yet"
They need to earn money somehow, and the deal with Microsoft is the least privacy-invasive option they found.
I suggest overall to use SearxNG, but Qwant isn't bad.
No doubt. And I'm not faulting them for making the deal or for collecting the data in general. I am, however, faulting them for claiming they don't know anything about you and then turn around and collect things about you.
