Qwant Starts Demanding JavaScript
I have been using Qwant search in my Web browser for many years. I quite like it, it is certainly easy to use, but I was surprised that the Web browser didn't work with Qwant in the Far East when I traveled to visit my family. I didn't really investigate why it did not work, so I decided to leave LibreWolf like that I put it aside and used Mozilla Firefox instead. Holiday time was finished and it was about time to go back home, whereupon I tried Qwant again and it worked as expected. I have done some readings and checked the Web; it says Qwant has this shortcoming; to quote, "Qwant's services. We apologise for this. It has been a difficult decision, but we have decided to close access to our services in some countries where we do not think we can provide the quality of service we feel is sufficient. However, it is still possible for them to access Qwant in other parts of the world via VPN tools." Is that so?
Recently, I have noticed that Qwant search in my browser is asking the user to enable JavaScript. Is this really needed? Can't we give an option for the user who doesn't want to disable the ad blocker? For now I am going to continue using Qwant, but I am going to keep an eye on this.
It looks like the company wants to spy more. What for and who for?
