Yeah then I must be making these up.
there are countless more of these examples.
Also like I said:
- it's different based on your country. not all companies want their ads to be displayed on every country. it's called targeted advertisements.
- tracking prevention and adblocker extensions also have effect
- HotCakeXJan 13, 2020MVPOh anytime!

Bing insider and these stuff are irrelevant. what don't you just open a new incognit or InPrivate browsing window and do the same search i did in my screenshot and then post Your screenshot to show when you said you don't see ads.
Because I'm not doing anything or wearing ad magnet that Bing is showing me all these annoying misleading ads.

Top 3 or 4 results are Always ads on Bing.
the funny thing is, when i search to download Edge, Bing shows me to download Brave. lol
now compare to Google results:
There you have it, first result, top result, the correct one, straight to the official Microsoft website.
if a user is not tech savvy and can't or don't pay attention to the URL of the search results in Bing, then they will most likely get infected, have unwanted software installed on their PC and whatnot.

Ok. Somehow I've not seen or notice any of that on Bing search pages, at all. Hence, it being one big reason (of many) why I, personally, use & prefer Bing. I wish Bing.com home page was the NTP, rather than just only using basic Bing search bar; would, then, also, have Bing Visual Search which, is fantastic!
When we Bing Insiders meet monthly we often remark on the lack of ads at the top of search pages before actual results, that people don't like or want, with Bing compared to other search engine pages. And how that is another thing making Bing attractive & appealing.
There are several things about Bing that make me, at least, quite happy that it is the 'primary' (for lack of a better word) search engine in Edge.
Here's an example; "Look, Ma, no ads".

they categorize "Girls" (just the word) as adult! how ridiculous does that sound!?
Bing thinks all girls are pronstars!
Google on the other hand can correctly tell the difference when it comes to explicit and non explicit search result filtering.
