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

      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

        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.
