Just looked it up since I was sure I had read they had their own. On their wikipedia article it says:

In its early days on the Internet, the Qwant search engine relied on Bing to provide more relevant results. In 2016, Qwant claimed to be increasingly using its own results from its own exploration robots. It is still at the status of hybrid engine.[89] In 2020, Qwant claimed to have exceeded 50% of independent results for web searches, and 70% for all researchs

so I guess it’s both bing and their own thing.

Agreed, it feels like it’s a strong signal they don’t take privacy seriously.

I think Qwant does too, right?

I knew neochat existed but wasn’t able to use it as it didn’t used to support end-to-end encryption, but I noticed recently that they’ve added support for it so I’ve switched. It’s been great, I use matrix both at work and at home and I love being able to native implementation.

Definitely worth giving a try if you haven’t already.

I really like these “for” pages KDE are making recently, for those who haven’t seen they’ve also done:

• KDE for Creators
• KDE for Developers
• KDE for Kids

I think they do a good job of showcasing some really awesome software KDE have.
