Comment on How Google Alters Search Queries to Get at Your Wallet
herr@lemmy.world 8 months agoQwant is unfortunately owned by Axel Springer, truly one of the worst German companies in existence. They’re the publisher of the most popular (and unfortunately highly politically biased, filled to the brim with dishonest exaggerations and occasionally straight-up lies) German newspaper Bild.
Whatever comes out of Qwant if it actually becomes popular, you can rest assured it will be nothing good.

As much as I dislike Axel Springer, they seem to own just 20% of Qwant.
In my experience DDG kinda sucks, when I gave it a honest try (~1 month of having it as default) I kept going back to Google too much.
I don’t have any trouble dumping services when they go bad. I’m on Lemmy after all.
