     <h1>About <a href="/">searx</a></h1>
 
-    <p>Searx is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch engine</a> inspired by the <a href="http://seeks-project.info/">seeks-project</a>.
-    <br />It tries to provide basic privacy by mixing your queries with those from others while avoiding storing search data. For all browsers (except chrom*) queries are made using a POST request. Thus they don't show up in our logs, nor in your url history. For Chrom* users there is an exception, searx is used from the search bar, it issues GET requests.
-    <br />You can add it to your browsers search bar and even make it your default search engine.
+    <p>Searx is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch engine</a>, aggregating the results of other <a href="/engines">search engines</a> while not storing information about its users.
     </p>
-    <h2>What makes searx different</h2>
+    <h2>Why use Searx?</h2>
     <ul>
-        <li>No ads - searx is Free Software (free-as-in-freedom), funded by your donations</li>
-        <li>Privacy - tries to minimalize the digital footprint of the searches</li>
-        <li>Optionally self hosted - see the <a href="#faq">FAQ</a></li>
-        <li>Easy to add new engines/categories</li>
+        <li>Maybe Searx won’t offer you as personalised results as Google, but it doesn't make a profile about you</li>
+        <li>Searx doesn't care about what you search, never shares anything with a third party, and it can't be used to compromise you</li>
+        <li>Searx doesn't make money on ads and it isn't customised based on your interests. You get the pure search results</li>
+        <li>Searx is a free software, the code is 100% open and you can help to make it better. See more on <a href="https://gmail.com/asciimoo/searx">github</a></li>
     </ul>

+    in digital freedom, make Searx your default search engine or run it on your own server</p>
