I'm thrilled to report that uBlock Origin completely strips out this spam on the search results page. I was worried that it might take some time to filter out this noise from the search results page, but apparently not!

  If you search for widgets, why is relevant info from the foremost expert on widgets spam?

  Someone else was reporting that it's not showing up - I use unlock Origin on desktop and it was appearing for me. Screen cap from mobile: http://i.imgur.com/X1M5YZn.jpg http://i.imgur.com/X1M5YZn.jpg

  So uBlock is actually blocking a site's own content? I've heard a lot about false positives but this takes the price.

    I'm using uBlock Origin and still see these.

    No content is hidden from my side[1] -- I am using default filter lists. Poster must have some custom filters, or using some other 3rd-party filter list which causes this. The logger would tell why content is blocked on his side. [1] http://i.imgur.com/2M1D6Uj.png http://i.imgur.com/2M1D6Uj.png

Whoa, I've never seen this privacy reminder box before! Must be an EU-specific thing to try and dissuade them from getting skinned alive by EU privacy laws.

  Nope, I see it in the US here.

    It's an EU URL though.
