Hacker News Reader

I get 0 ads on that search. The very first result, above anything but their header, is https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/3111061 .

3 ads + featured snippet before the result for me.

2 ads and a card linking directly to the Google support article explaining how to remove it here.

The answer is almost below the fold on my 13" macbook pro

I get 4 ads too. Thankfully my screen is a little taller (1920x1200 on Windows Chrome with no scaling).

A weird example of Google creating business for third parties.

so it's of course not free, given ads alone tho -- wisely -- even w/out feeling inclined to pay for anything Goo
