Historically, they have both been relying mostly on the Bing index, with Qwant building its own index for a while and serving a mix.

I've been carefully optimistic about this - even if ecosia and qwant decide to start heavily serve ads it still means we have an alternative which will supplement privacy focused frontends and metasearch engines.

Just be aware that fasch media company Axel Springer owns 20% of Qwant ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwant)
