uBlock Origin blocks sponsored search results by default because like you said they're just ads.

(Amazon will still return a duplicate result for the same product in the correct place further down the list so you're not missing out on anything by blocking sponsored search results)

So yet another instance where using an adblocker can make you safer than not using one.
Man I love uBO so fucking much.
This is actually a bad thing because the sponsored product will also be listed normally and then you can’t ignore it by virtue of it being sponsored.
Which is precisely why Google is knifing the baby with Manifest V3.
