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.

to get around the adblocker warning, use this link.

The problem with your own searxng instance is that your searches across other engines come from your IP address.

So if you're searching for something, everyone knows it's you using IP triangulation. Google then tracks you around the internet.

If that doesnt bother you, OK great.

Sure, but it's a buyer beware kind of thing.
