I think it is great news. Europe is so much behind the US in the IT-Sector. Even russia has a successful search-engine. The default view is a bit overloaded in my opinion... Lite version: https://lite.qwant.com/ A plus point is that qwant also supports hashbangs like duckduckgo.

Isn’t that a sad truth, only made worse by the irony that a lot of us went to work in the States. A lot of Europe is still conceptually stuck in the pre-UNIX, lone desktop Windows/MS-DOS, early ’90’s era, while the rest of the world runs them by with macOS PC’s and iPads. Lots of European UNIX talent left for the States right at the cusp of the dot-com era and helped build the Internet because that’s where all the action was. We never really recovered from that.
Privacy loving European here. I want to like it, but it gives off a bad vibe. First of all it's too loaded and it doesn't seem to work at all without Javascript enabled. Give me a text field, I don't care about the news. Second, no easy way to add it in my Firefox search engine list. This is really something obvious they should fix, come on. Third, they want you to install an extension that will indeed set qwant as d…

I don't see that green plus you are talking about, I stared and stared.

This privacy invasion is a two edged sword too. Google is getting very good at searching for stuff you use daily, especially if it's gaming or some other media in fashion. However, it's becoming useless for infrequent searches. Try googling any random error message and notice 90% of the results don't even contain it.
Can you give an example of a random error message where the results do not match?

For lower levels of the stack (e.g.: IaaS), there is no way to be competitive against SV without subsidy b/c fwcit there is no access to capital nor enough talents to this problem size.
The prospective is not getting any better at the immigration level, the greencard schema has been repelled and companies are having even harder time to attract talent.

That's weird, on my side I have the "Add Qwant" option show up in my firefox search field. I'm on Firefox 56.0.2 Win7.

"while the rest of the world runs them by with macOS PC’s and iPads" Buying istuff is somehow progressive?

Thanks, "lite" should be the default really. Much better. I don't see that green plus you are talking about, I stared and stared.

> First of all it's too loaded and it doesn't seem to work at all without Javascript enabled. Give me a text field, I don't care about the news. I genuinely don't understand this hostile statement. Why do you complain that a website isn't functional in pure html in 2017? do you want the web to look like it's 1998?
Because a search engine must run on the widest array of web browsers possible. For being a European search engine and based in France to boot, they should very well be aware of platforms which have minimal or no JavaScript support in their web browsers, like for example the classic AmigaOS. If someone with a platform like that tries to use their search engine to perhaps find a JavaScript enabled client, they couldn’t…
I don't understand this statement. Is there less js-enabled browser in Europe, or in France?

Right now I'm reading the frontpage and getting distracted from news with political opinions to which I don't even agree. Basically getting in the way of engineering.
