European Parliament to Swap Google for French Search Engine Qwant

The European Parliament announced plans to replace Google with Qwant. Qwant is a French search engine that will become the institution’s default. The decision reflects a shift toward European‑based digital services. Parliament officials cited data‑privacy and market‑diversity concerns. The move is expected to reduce reliance on non‑European search providers. Implementation details were not fully outlined in the announcement. Caliber.Az reported the policy change. Observers will watch how the transition impacts search usage within the EU.
