If it's adblock plus they let ads through for which they receive money.

it's uBlock Origin and they aren't supposed to do this as far as I know... hopefully their filter is just outdated.

holy cow, that ad looks exactly like a normal result with a very low contrast small link on the upper-right.

I wonder if you could buy an ad that looks like that from Google or if only Google is allowed to use them...

It says google promoted so I doubt it. the ones that are ads say Ad in a little box near where you click.

I got the same "Google promotion" add with Google encrypted. BTW I'm using uBlock Origin.
