I have a Fritzbox! and 1st router in over 15 years I've not put OpenWrt on.
I use my ISP's DNS on router and disable browser built-in DNS as my ISP is relatively trustworthy and very reliable for last 20 years.

I find Qwant search OK and it doesn't report to a USA megacorp?

I can't explain the issue properly. I just wanted it to work like before, and this part of the problem was well understood.

for me qwant now gives: (I've used it in the past, so it seems the geo-*retentiveness was applied recently)

"The search engine that respects your privacy"

privacy and respect always come together in these stock phrases. Nowadays I usually read sentences like that as meaning the opposite "CAUTION, we don't give a single * about privacy".


"Thanks for your visit" -> Get lost

Unfortunately we are not yet available in your country. -> never come back
