   >How do I get rid of all, ALL, *ALL*, ads in Google searches.   
   I'm referring to the ads that are a part of, and on the page/screen   
   of, the results when you do a search on Google.  I *DO NOT* want   
   regular ads, I *DO NOT* want personalized ads, I *DO NOT* want   
   Adchoice ads, (the thing that is symbolized by the little, (light blue   
   colored on my laptop screen), right facing arrow point thing that has   
   a lower case i in it, I *DO NOT* want ANY ads PERIOD!!!  I want   
   ZERO!!! ads in my Google search results.  I also do not want any ads   
   on ANY search engine that I might use.  Other than not using/searching   
   on Google, how do I do/accomplish this?  I'm using an HP laptop   
   computer with Windows 10 home and I use the Microsoft edge browser. My   
   HP laptop is the one that has Bang and Olufsen speakers.  The model #   
   is 15-au159nr, the serial number is SCD70430NP.  In the serial number,   
   I do not know if the 2 "0" things are zeros or letter "ohs", but I   
   THINK that they are zeros.  If it matters, I have,   
   and use, Adblock plus.  When responding, PLEASE keep in mind that   
   I've NEVER been to any type and/or level of college and I am IN NO WAY   
   tech minded, naturally or other wise.  Because of this, please use, as   
   they say, simple lay person's terms/terminology, and give the   
   instructions in a step 1, step 2, step 3, etc. way.  Oh, by the way,   
   even though I do not want any ads in the search results, I still want   
   the results page that comes up to have the look/layout/style/whatever   
   I should be saying here, of one that does have ads, just minus the   
   ads, if you understand what I mean by this last line.  Thank you all   
   VERY MUCH!!!   
      
      
   If you are using Adblock Plus then you shouldn't be getting any ads in   
   your search or your results.  I have Adblock Plus installed on a   
   Chromebook and a Windows computer and never see any ads on either   
   computer.  I guess you know that the ad blocker can be turned off, and   
   maybe that's what you have inadvertently done.
