Hi, apologies for this, I am very busy at the moment and was not aware of this issue. I have fixed it and updated the extension, so it should be working on Startpage again now :)

It would be great if you could drop me an email if you find any issues in the future before leaving a 1-star review, as I don't check these reviews often.

Let me know if you have any other problems, thanks!

    Your add-on has always worked very well and has always removed all Bing search result ads.

    However in the past week I have noticed that I have been getting clearly labelled "Text Ads" in my Bing search results at the top and bottom of my search results.

    The same thing occurs when I search on Bing using the Chrome browser.

    It would seem that Bing has devised new methods of inserting these "Text Ads"

    I do NOT want to see these ads polluting my search results.

    Please update your add-on to remove these ads as soon as possible

    No problem at all, glad you like it!

    Feel free to drop me a message if you have any ideas or spot anywhere ads are being missed :)

    This is a good addon: does what it says, and doesn't create problems with display pages, etc. :) (even though I'm using an ancient version of FF63).

    I do wonder if it could be expanded to help remove "sponsored" results from Amazon.com searches, though. Amazon's search is bad enough without the completely-unrelated rows of sponsored items shoved in way way over-frequently in the results. ;-)

    Working well on Bing, however I'm still getting ads on Google, I think Google may have updated the way they show ads, so this extension may be in need of an update.

    Including an Imgur screenshot to show what I mean

    Hello,

    Yes you are correct, Google have updated how they show ads.
    I am to create a fix this weekend, and will update this message once I have.

    Thanks for spotting this!

    The idea is super! Is Yandex supported?

    Removes some of the Google ads, but not all. Depending upon the site, up to 60% is still covered by ads. Need to work on the ads that appear on the sides of the page.

    Great job on blocking annoying Google ads where many other ad blockers failed.
