+# About [searxng][url_for:index]
+
+SearXNG is a fork from the well-known [searx] [metasearch engine], aggregating
+the results of other [search engines][url_for:preferences] while not storing
+information about its users.
+
+More about SearXNG ...
+
+* [SearXNG sources][brand.git_url]
+* [weblate]
+
+---
+
+## Why use it?
+
+* SearXNG may not offer you as personalised results as Google,
+ but it doesn't generate a profile about you.
+
+* SearXNG doesn't care about what you search for, never shares anything
+ with a third party, and it can't be used to compromise you.
+
+* SearXNG is free software, the code is 100% open and you can help
+ to make it better. See more on [SearXNG sources][brand.git_url].
+
+If you do care about privacy, want to be a conscious user, or otherwise
+believe in digital freedom, make SearXNG your default search engine or run
+it on your own server
+
+## Technical details - How does it work?
+
+SearXNG is a [metasearch engine], inspired by the [seeks project]. 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 Chromium-based browsers*). Therefore they show up in neither our logs,
+nor your url history. In the case of Chromium-based browser users there is an
+exception: searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests. SearXNG can be
+added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default
+search engine.
+
+<span id='add to browser'></span>
+## How to set as the default search engine?
+
+SearXNG supports [OpenSearch]. For more information on changing your default
+search engine, see your browser's documentation:
+
+* [Firefox](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox)
+* [Microsoft Edge](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028574/microsoft-edge-change-the-default-search-engine)
+* Chromium-based browsers [only add websites that the user navigates to without a path.](https://www.chromium.org/tab-to-search)
+
+## Where to find anonymous usage statistics of this instance ?
+
+[Stats page][url_for:stats] contains some useful data about the engines used.
+
+## How can I make it my own?
+
+SearXNG appreciates your concern regarding logs, so take the code from
+the [SearXNG project][brand.git_url] and run it yourself!
+
+Add your instance to this [list of public instances][brand.public_instances] to
+help other people reclaim their privacy and make the Internet freer! The more
+decentralized the Internet is, the more freedom we have!
+
+## Where are the docs & code of this instance?
