Just to clarify what's happening here - The top 15% of the screenshot? That's the website itself. The rest is an ad. That's actually insane.

I've been wishing for an ability to blacklist search results somehow, because of websites like this. For tech, stuff like CNET or Zdnet. For gaming, it's gamesradar, or CBR, or especially gameranx. All just garbage information with 300 cookies to feed the ad networks

Have you considered Kagi? I've not used it but it looks like it has the exact features you want.

Kagi is fabulous. You can also use nextdns to block ads from getting in. They have a generous free tier and the unlimited is cheap. I have it on my router = ad free house.
