I've just done the same search as in the article on Chrome, Firefox and DuckDuckGo

Google served 5 ads before showing me M&S' website

DDG showed me an ad for Temu then M&S' website

Firefox showed me no ad, thanks ublock, and straight to M&S' website

Firefox isn't a search engine, though?

What search engine were you using on FF?

[–] bernieecclestoned 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Google but with ublock and ghostery

UblockOrigin recommends against using ghostery.

I like ghostery's handling of cookie banners though...

Edit. Oh, the easy list thing does that anyway. Thanks

Edit 2. Ghostery is better at cookie popups
