Privacy disclaimer: Algo is not focused on privacy, but prioritizes security. You host it yourself on a cloud instance, so you are attached to a single IP.

As an iphone user, I have not seen many good ad-blocking solutions and I sadly expect zero anonymity on mobile. Perhaps Disconnect was OK. I would like to know more if they exist.

Algo gives an option to install an adblocker on your vpn server and it seems to work fairly well. You can set it up in under half hour and destroy your $5 instance as needed. You can use on desktop if you want, but I prefer dynamic IP VPNs when possible.

Avoid commercial sites by adding your own flavor of top level domain (TLD) limitations, e.g. "(site:.org OR site:.net OR site:*.edu))"

For example: instead of returning the top result on ahrefs.com, this query:

• 'search operators "site" (site:.org OR site:.net OR site:*.edu))' makes it easier to find: "https://guides.lib.berkeley.edu/GoogleTips" in what would be a sea of SEO gamed results on .com domains.
