RelativityRangerL’année dernière, nous avons lancé European Search Perspective (EUSP), une coentreprise avec Qwant. Le lancement a marqué une étape importante dans notre parcours vers l’indépendance technologique et la souveraineté numérique pour l’Europe.
Vu le passif, j'y crois mais alors pas du tout

La grosse question c'est quand que Qwant passera aussi sur cet index ? Ils sont sensés aider, selon ce qui avait été annoncé à l'époque.
Rekall IncorporatedI’ve been using Ecosia for over a year. It’s a good Google search proxy.
Really looking forward to them launching an English language search index, but it makes sense that they would start with France (I will speculate German language content will be next).
How are first impressions for everyone? Imma start using it instead of DDG depending on the quality
I have started using it instead of DDG few weeks ago. I can find what I'm looking at for day to day searches, so for now I keep it as my default. I had no clue they had their own index.
So this is just Qwant and Ecosia? Seemingly they're rolling it out differently because the latest article about EUSP from Qwant was in 2024: https://betterweb.qwant.com/en/2024/11/08/ecosia-and-qwant-join-forces-to-develop-european-search-index/
