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 amount of absolutely undue shit ddg got for innovating on par with literally every other search engine is ridiculous.
