    The ads you see injected in your search result as “sponsored” are not the only way Googles Ad interests affect your search results. They are actively manipulating your search queries to make them point more towards their paying customers wanted result without you noticing.

            how would your adblocker affect something going on in googles backend?

              It affects what is displayed to me in the browser window. No backend needed. It sees “sponsored” and hides them.

                And if you read my comment again, that’s not what I was talking about

                  Fair enough. But i will say that with the adblocker i can find what i need a lot easier and is usually a top 3 result if not the first.

                    Definitely. Not having half of the first page being ads helps a lot
