  ## Why Websurfx?
183
 
184
- The primary purpose of the Websurfx project is to create a fast, secure, and privacy-focused meta-search engine. There are numerous meta-search engines available, but not all guarantee the security of their search engine, which is critical for maintaining privacy. Memory flaws, for example, can expose private or sensitive information, which is understandably bad. There is also the added problem of spam, ads, and inorganic results which most engines don't have a fool-proof answer to. Until now. With Websurfx I finally put a full stop to this problem. Websurfx is based on Rust, which ensures memory safety and removes such issues. Many meta-search engines also lack important features like advanced picture search, required by graphic designers, content providers, and others. Websurfx improves the user experience by providing these and other features, such as proper NSFW blocking and Micro-apps or Quick Results (providing a calculator, currency exchanges, etc in the search results).

  ## Why Rust?
191
 
192
- Websurfx is based on Rust due to its memory safety features, which prevents vulnerabilities and makes the codebase more secure. Rust is also faster than C++, contributing to Websurfx's speed and responsiveness. Finally, the Rust ownership and borrowing system enables secure concurrency and thread safety in the program.
