Why is Apple blocking Qwant Search?

QWANT DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE SAFARI EXTENSION GALLERY. Further, where in High Sierra browsing to qwant.com displays the Install Qwant button, in Mojave, Safari does not display this button. Finally, search of qwant.com for "safari extension" "qwant", using a dozen search engines and several browsers found nothing. Following this post thread and your reply, very shortly a search re-run found only Qwant for Firefox for Mojave. Then the following link tunnel located the Safari Extension in no other location than... Safari Extensions Gallery!

((More verbiage for Terrence, "Surprise, surprise" :-)

We do not jump to conclusions, but ask, why is access to Qwant being concealed in multiple searches using multiple browsers (with Google blocked from Safari)... by Apple?

Thanks to whoever, silent hero. This only adds an additional "WHY", to 3 why's that opened this thread. At least for these machine installations in this network in this geolocation, Apple is very much being made to appear like it is with-holding Qwant access.

that downloads qwant-safari.safariextz that opens Safari preferences Extensions with "Qwant" mysteriously appearing in/ installing from Safari Gallery.

Terrence, this thread's opening question is not answered. Set aside whatever is going on between Apple and this machine, how does one install Qwant to the Safari address bar?

There is no way this network can test the obscure link trail above, aside from another macOS install that again conceals Qwant. Wonder if the link trail works for all Mojave Macs, at least today?

Yes, dominic23. Those would be first steps in any investigation. Thanks for pointing out those wonderful links. They did not advise me how to bypass the Qwant Block described elsewhere, just before Qwant management changed hands 2 years ago, in Europe. Perhaps these are purely corporate matters, that Apple end-users can only comment, across the consumer relations counter. I was going to respond to Terrence. But you will do. Apple is simply portrayed by you as appropriate. Is Apple assistance adequate to overcome the Qwant Block, outlined from a user perspective in this thread?

Apple (knowingly or otherwise) is blocking Qwant, allowing only default Google and Google-owned search engines like the Quacker. Google has been detailed by the EU as a component of the U.S. military complex. The blocking of Qwant is not an expected corporate behavior, outside of the military complex: our public corporations expand horizons, we DO NOT SHRIVEL. Aside from obvious Google management of its hosts and subsidiaries, this suggests government influence. As the U.S. is an aggressive and violent military occupation by Europe of non-Europeans, we can only conclude that Qwant disappearance in Apple at this location results from criminal colonial governance, as interference with expanded corporate horizons. How that criminality gets resolved, is anybody’s guess. The European colony U.S. is currently conducting another sanctioned colonial military coup in yet another American nation, Venezuela (the 4th such now mundane criminal action in a few decades). Apple public market involvement is thus assured. Here, the user perceives the pocketed U.S. government and its military complex are pushing that aspect of this computing environment to criminal warfare, encompassing all search horizons in associated colonial jurisdictions. If errant ‘hack’ is behind the Qwant dump, fair guess that hack source also in an aggressive manner, supports far more trouble in Venezuela. Sociopolitical involvement is not helpful, if Apple is a good corporation, trying to ‘dig out’, and secure legitimate American interest. This observation assumes guilt by association, defining deep cultural roots with supportive institutional structure. Another day... 

Good share, Eric Root. Why is that not turning up here, in our multiple and varied searches?
