Anyone know of a content blocker that hides these ads that show as results at top of a google search?

They are not "Ads", they are links where their placement is paid to Google for being first. We are spoiled by thinking that everything is free, this is one of Google biggest revenue streams.

Naw, just a retired geek. What I find more annoying are the video ADS on YouTube. Wish there was an instant mute button, may just doubling click the volume button?

Answering my own question. Looks like 1Blocker and Block Bear block these adds. I had been using Adamant, but it does not block these ads, so I guess I’ll switch to one of these other apps.

I see that all the time on Google, you search for a brand or product and some type of promotion is listed first. Like I said, that is how Google makes it's money. Product/brand placement.
