Been using it since I read DDG was discovered having trackers from Microsoft, which they've since removed - or so they claim.

I can say that 2 times out of 10 I defer to DDG, or even Google. But it's good enough and they are based in the EU, so they are forced by law to follow certain privacy measures.

If Mozilla teams up with them, I'm only expecting Qwant to get better - and it's supporting competition, so that's nice.

Considering the only news results I get on DDG are from MSN, I believe it, but also I'm guessing the net result is the same...

Qwant primarily uses Bing. Every single concern is the same.
