Forced to install this extension to get rid of the nag screen on the actual search engine. No other way to get rid of it according to their own support.

Not doing really anything in Vivaldi. Removed it and added the search engine manually in Settings.

I would have gladly given this add-on 4 stars. The only thing I really do not like that this add on not only changes the search engine but forces itself as permanent home page onto my browser which can not be changed. Because of this I have now disabled it so that I can always load the home page I need.

even after I installed it my search engine stayed the same and so did my home page. I am on chrome os so that may have affected it somehow I don't know. will still be changing the search engine to qwant manually but the qwant homepage would be nice

It doesn't work, but that is Google's fault. Seems Chrome no longer allows the creation of "Other Search Engines", only site searches. Only items in the "Search Engines" list can be selected as the default, so Qwant can no longer be set as default. This is anti-trust activity by Google. Only allowed to search inside the corporate fact-censorship bubbles.
