- 🎨 Make Websurfx uniquely yours with the twelve color schemes provided by default. It also supports the creation of custom themes and color schemes in a quick and easy way, so unleash your creativity!
- 🚀 Easy to setup with Docker or on bare metal with various installation and deployment options.
Before you can start building `websurfx`, you will need to have `Cargo` installed on your system. You can find the installation instructions [here](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html).
To get started with Websurfx, clone the repository, edit the config file, which is located in the `websurfx/` directory, and install the Redis server by following the instructions located [here](https://redis.io/docs/getting-started/) and then run the websurfx server and redis server using the following commands:
> 2. There are many features still missing, like `support for image search`, `different categories`, `quick apps`, etc., but they will be added soon as part of future releases.
Websurfx comes loaded with several themes and color schemes, which you can apply and edit through the config file. It also supports custom themes and color schemes using CSS, allowing you to make it truly yours.
> Currently, we do not support other languages, but we will start accepting contributions regarding language support in the future. We believe language should never be a barrier to entry.
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 engines, 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 full-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).
Websurfx is distributed under the **AGPLv3** license to keep the source code open and transparent. This helps keep malware, telemetry, and other dangers out of the project. **AGPLv3** is a strong copyleft license that ensures the software's source code, including any modifications or improvements made to the code, remains open and available to everyone.
Websurfx is based on Rust due to its memory safety features, which prevent vulnerabilities and make 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.
