That only affects DDG and not Google or Bing? That doesn't seem likely. You sure you're not running an adblocker?

(Also it's rogue, not rouge.)

There some type of law that requires malware/extensions that inserts fake results in one's searches to work with all search engines? LOL

Common sense would dictate that Google would NOT be selling AdWords that would replace THEIR own ad for the top search result for their own products.

EDIT: Wait, you are talking about Duck Duck Go? This thread is about Google.com NOT DDG. Regardless, I get Google's official site at the top with DDG.

The one I replied to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11526264 is about Bing and DDG.

Ad for everydownload shows up at the top of ddg for me on Chrome Android. Are you this incredulous, or just trolling?

No, are you trolling? I was hardly the only one on this post who didn't get ads for that search. You are the first person to mention the mobile version of any browser so I did the same search with Chrome on Android using DDG and... Gee, the Google Chrome website is still the first result. The only time I got an ad was with the Canadian version of Bing. Note, I am using the DDG website NOT the app or extension.
