<title>Why use Searx?</title>
<section>
<title>Personalization and Filter Bubbles</title>
<para>Search engines have the ability to profile users and serve results most relevant to them, putting people into <ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_bubble">filter bubbles</ulink>, thus distorting people's view of the world. Search engines have a financial incentive to serve interesting advertisements to their users, increasing their chances of clicking on the advertisements. </para>
<para>A metasearch engine is a possible solution to this problem, as it aggregates results from multiple search engines thus bypassing personalization attempts by search engines. </para>
<para>Searx avoids storing cookies from search engines as a means of preventing tracking and profiling by search engines. </para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Advertisement filtering</title>
<para>Searx filters out advertisements from the search results before serving the results, thus increasing relevance the of your search results and saving you from distractions. </para>
</section>

The search queries wouldn't stored in browser history either. </para>
