EDIIT :

Apparently, there is an issue with the warning request to disable the ad blocker

I use Fennec F-Droid and Cromite, and I don't see this issue.

Dude I don't even know what that is or what it does and I'm pretty sure most people don't either. It might be easy but what the heck even is it?

It let's you have one search website where you have it pull results from all other search engines (that you want) and then it can rank results based on where things rank on the various engines.

Tl;dr self hosted search proxy, with some advanced features
