>Google's innovation was to deliver pure search results with the highest relevance, with zero influence from advertisers. Ads were separate and labeled as such.
Have you tried using Google without an adblocker recently?
If I search "buy a car" using Chrome on Android the entire screen of my phone is filled with ads that I need to scroll past to get to the "pure" search results. The only indication that they are ads is a tiny box 1/8 the size of a fingernail. The top result on the embedded Google maps box is also an ad.
- panarky 9y agoYou might want to get your phone checked for malware. I search with Chrome on Android every day, with no ad blockers, and this never happens.

I also like they way they perfect match Google's site design.
