swisscows.com is deffinetly worth checking out, as they not only do have a search engine, but also mail services and a messenger aswell as a vpn. And their name is kinda funny.

I said ยซLemme Qwant this real quickยป a couple times as a joke and now people make fun of me.

That was a bad decision on my part

Ha! Look! It's the Qwantter! /s

Honestly "I'll qwant it" rolls off the tongue nicely compared to "let me duckduckgo it" or any other alternative.

Been trying Qwant but missing many of the duck features :(

Added bonus to saying that: everyone ducks their head suddenly

I like it!

It's better than "let me startpage this real quick"

ยซLet me DuckDuckGo til real quickยป

Hell, this one:

ยซLet me BING this real quickยป

Just Duck it!

I'm bummed they removed it from their logo's hover text.

Qwant (at least the way I would pronounce it, let's say in a French way) doesn't sound bad at all.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

I pronounce it like an Aussie, been enjoying the site and it's results. These quants are allright.

I'm a Kagier myself, but I don't say "I'm gonna kagi this". The word "search" still works, people understand it.

Whatโ€™s a ยซSearchยป?
