I cannot understand how some people are living with this. It is unbearable

    I interpret it as she used to see add, they’re gone and she misses them.

      No. Google search results still show sponsored links. But if you then click on them it breaks. Same thing for FB. The links are served from Facebook.Com and so they are not flagged as ads.

      So she is likely getting exactly what she searched for and then it breaks after clicking on it

        yeah you’re right actually. I always use it combined with a local browser adblock and didn’t think of that

        Good point, I think I’ve just mentally suppressed the search result add and didn’t think about them at all.

        I’m surprised about the FB ads though, some newspapers over here tried the same and serve ads from the main domain… After two-three days the filter maintainers figured out how to block then as well.
