Yeah, qwant, the same search engine with complete reliance on huawei and bing, who asked to deactivate adblocker to use their page. Qwant isn't privacy focused, it's just marketing

Thats sadly the thing with non commercial work/science. It often dosn't have a fancy product announcement that gets picked up by the news.
