## Why Websurfx?
The main goal of the Websurfx project is to provide a fast, secure, and privacy-focused [meta search engine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine). While there are many meta search engines available, they do not always guarantee the security of their search engine, which is essential for ensuring privacy. For example, memory vulnerabilities can leak private or sensitive information, which is never good. Websurfx is written in Rust, which guarantees memory safety and eliminates such problems. Many meta search engines also lack key features such as advanced image search, which is required by many graphic designers, content creators, and others. Websurfx aims to provide these features and others, such as proper NSFW blocking, to improve the user experience.
The primary purpose of the Websurfx project is to create a fast, secure, and privacy-focused [meta-search engine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine). While there are numerous meta-search engines available, not all of them 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 never a good thing. Also, there is the added problem of Spam, ads, and unorganic results which most engines don't have the full-proof answer to it till now but with Websurfx I finally put a full stop to this problem, also, Rust is used to write Websurfx, which ensures memory safety and removes such issues. Many meta-search engines also lack important features like advanced picture search, which is required by many graphic designers, content providers, and others. Websurfx attempts to improve the user experience by providing these and other features, such as proper NSFW blocking and Micro-apps or Quick results (like providing a calculator, currency exchanges, etc in the search results).

Rust was chosen as the programming language for Websurfx due to its memory safety features, which can help prevent vulnerabilities and make the codebase more secure. Rust is also faster than C++, which helps to make Websurfx fast and responsive. In addition, Rust's ownership and borrowing system allows for safe concurrency and thread safety in the codebase.
