- vagnes 9y agoThey say: "When you use Qwant, no personal information whatsoever is neither captured or transmitted to advertisers.", but then they also say: "We believe we now have designed a simple and efficient offering by working with the Microsoft Bing ad network." Is it just me, or are these two statements oxymorons?
- captainmuon 9y agoThey probably say "give me some ads for keyword 'react js'" and don't pass on your IP or other identifying info. Still a problem if you search for your own name, but I don't think you can do much about that. Or maybe MS provides a bloom table / index of all keywords they currenty have ads for, so you can check "offline" before sending it to them?
