Qwant has started blocking me for using an adblocker.
Just tried it. Got a message asking me to disable the adblocker but I could just accept the message and it showed me the result. Yeah, whatever. I keep using DuckDuckGo for the time being.

Except starting this week, Qwant has started blocking me for using an adblocker. I’ve had to block Javascript to get around it.

I’ve seen it in private browsing for a while now, but it has also just started happening in a normal window. My solution was to switch to ddg for now. Disabling js breaks image browsing for me.

Curious. Firefox w/ Ublock Origin works fine for me when l set noscript to allow qwant.com to run javascript.

There are users that complain about it from over a year ago. Maybe it’s a slow rollout, or some game of cat-and-mouse where my ublock isn’t updating for some reason.
