MODERATORS
Are you expecting a browser to filter search results for you? The blame should go to the search engine, and you should be using an ad blocker to boot.
You're conflating search results with ads
Google and Bing do as well.
Sure but the person you replied to did not
[sass-reduced because having written the wrong damn thing, it's my fault]
Huh, I've never actually used Edge, so I assumed you were talking about Bing search results, since you said Bing served your grandmother ads.
Shit, I just noticed, that is what I said. And here I'm being all sassy. My bad - I did mean Edge of course.
(Edge really is fucking awful though, so you're lucky, I guess)
