    Getting 4 sponsored links and an AI overview before I get to the search results.

    It’s basically all the shit Yahoo did to lose their search dominance.

      Fun Fact: the current head of Google’s search is the same guy that was in charge of Yahoo’s search right before they folded their own search and just started licensing Bing.

      I can’t see how a checkmark is supposed to fixes these Problems. Aren’t the sponsored links not already marked as such?

      You can disable the AI stuff and other nonsense if you do a “web” search, it’s in the list with images, videos etc. Theres also a thing you can add to a search url to do it - &udm=14.
