# FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) 🗨️
## 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.

## Why AGPLv3?
Websurfx is released under the **AGPLv3** license to ensure that the
source code remains open and transparent. This helps to prevent the
inclusion of spyware, telemetry, or other malicious code in the project.
**AGPLv3** is a strong copyleft license that ensures the source code of
the software remains open and available to everyone, including any
modifications or improvements made to the code.

## Why Rust?
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.
