-### Why did you create Shaarli ?
-
-I was a StumbleUpon user. Then I got fed up with they big toolbar. I switched to delicious, which was lighter, faster and more beautiful. Until Yahoo bought it. Then the export API broke all the time, delicious became slow and was ditched by Yahoo. I switched to Diigo, which is not bad, but does too much. And Diigo is sslllooooowww and their Firefox extension a bit buggy. And… oh… **their Firefox addon sends to Diigo every single URL you visit** (Don't believe me ? Use [Tamper Data](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tamper-data/) and open any page).
-
-Enough is enough. Saving simple links should not be a complicated heavy thing. I ditched them all and wrote my own: Shaarli. It's simple, but it does the job and does it well. And my data is not hosted on a foreign server, but on my server.
-
-### Why use Shaarli and not Delicious/Diigo ?
-
-With Shaarli:
-
-- The data is yours: It's hosted on your server.
-- Never fear of having your data locked-in.
-- Never fear to have your data sold to third party.
-- Your private links are not hosted on a third party server.
-- You are not tracked by browser addons (like Diigo does)
-- You can change the look and feel of the pages if you want.
-- You can change the behaviour of the program.
-- It's magnitude faster than most bookmarking services.
-
-### What does Shaarli mean?
-
-Shaarli stands for _shaaring_ your _links_.
-
-### My Shaarli is broken!
-First of all, ensure that both the [web server](Server-configuration) and [Shaarli](Shaarli-configuration) are correctly configured, and that your installation is [supported](Server-requirements).

- - if you find one that is related to the issue, feel free to comment and provide additional details (host/Shaarli setup)
- - else, [open a new issue](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/new), and provide information about the problem:
- - _what happens?_ - display glitches, invalid data, security flaws...
- - _what is your configuration?_ - OS, server version, activated extensions, web browser...
- - _is it reproducible?_
-
-### Why not use a real database? Files are slow!
-
-Does browsing [this page](http://sebsauvage.net/links/) feel slow? Try browsing older pages, too.
-
-It's not slow at all, is it? And don't forget the database contains more than 16000 links, and it's on a shared host, with 32000 visitors/day for my website alone. And it's still damn fast. Why?
-
-The data file is only 3.7 Mb. It's read 99% of the time, and is probably already in the operation system disk cache. So generating a page involves no I/O at all most of the time.
