I can't view the page either with emacs-w3m nor with w3m itself.

So that's one thing that DDG has over Qwant for me: it works with my browsers.



Have you tried lite.qwant.com? It's pretty usable for me in w3m, although still not as nice as DDG.


Thanks. lite.qwant.com seems to work.

Now I have to find a way to make it not give me indirect links like:

https://lite.qwant.com/redirect/IDSLFJKsdf99wejweiDFISDJFL92...

But give me direct links instead, like:

https://en.wikipedia.org/

On DDG this can be done by appending &kd=-1 to the URL.


I like w3m and am a DDG user, but you have to admit you are using quite an esoteric browser:-)


Basic web site functionality should work in any browser.


If browsers can't keep up with basic web site functionality, they risk becoming irrelevant.
