+# About [searx](https://stoptrackingus.io)
+
+Searx is a [metasearch engine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine), aggregating the results of other [search engines]({{ url_for('preferences') }}) while not storing information about its users.
+
+## Why use searx?
+
+*   searx may not offer you as personalised results as Google, but it doesn't generate a profile about you
+*   searx doesn't care about what you search for, never shares anything with a third party, and it can't be used to compromise you
+*   searx is free software, the code is 100% open and you can help to make it better. See more on [github](https://github.com/asciimoo/searx)
+
+If you do care about privacy, want to be a conscious user, or otherwise believe in digital freedom, make searx your default search engine or run it on your own server
+
+## Technical details - How does it work?
+
+Searx is a [metasearch engine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine), inspired by the [seeks project](https://beniz.github.io/seeks/).  
+It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request on every browser (except chrome*). Therefore they show up in neither our logs, nor your url history. In case of Chrome* users there is an exception, searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests.  
+Searx can be added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default search engine.
+
+## How can I make it my own?
+
+Searx appreciates your concern regarding logs, so take the [code](https://github.com/asciimoo/searx) and run it yourself!  
+Add your Searx to this [list](https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/wiki/Searx-instances) to help other people reclaim their privacy and make the Internet freer!  
+The more decentralized the Internet is, the more freedom we have!
