Qwant for Safari
Qwant for Safari is a Safari extension for macOS that redirects web searches in Safari to the Qwant search engine.
What is Qwant for Safari?
Qwant for Safari is a Safari extension for macOS that helps you use Qwant for searches made from Safari. It is intended for people who want Qwant as their search provider while continuing to browse with Apple’s browser. After the extension is enabled in Safari, searches are redirected to Qwant even if Safari’s built-in default search setting still shows another provider. This makes it a focused utility rather than a full standalone browser. On Mac, it is mainly used by people who prefer Qwant’s search experience and privacy-oriented approach without changing away from Safari.
Key features
- Redirect searches made in Safari to Qwant
- Work alongside Safari instead of replacing your browser
- Let you keep using Safari on macOS with Qwant for search
- Enable search redirection through Safari's extension settings

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This item is a Safari extension whose purpose is to intercept searches in Safari and send them to Qwant, which is consistent with its function. Because it can read and redirect activity on web pages where searches are performed, review its Safari extension permissions and keep it enabled only if you want Qwant handling those searches. If links or searches open unexpectedly in Qwant, check Safari Extensions settings and disable the extension to restore normal Safari search behavior.
Recommendation: Keep it if you intentionally use Qwant with Safari and want searches redirected there. If you do not use Qwant, disabling or removing the extension will stop the redirection and return Safari to its usual search workflow.
