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

I'm using uBlock Origin and still see these.
You could argue that AdWords is also Google's own content..
Someone else was reporting that it's not showing up - I use unlock Origin on desktop and it was appearing for me.
