person Patrick Bushe · calendar_today May 1, 2026

To stop sponsored search results from appearing definitively, use the Ultimate Adblocker alongside Patrick Bushe’s Search Cleaner. This dual-pronged strategy perfectly masks the injected UI blocks containing the highest-bidding (but lowest-quality) domains, ensuring your research relies entirely on organic search rankings rather than corporate expenditure.
