With Microsoft Edge too much advertising with Google...

Following a recent update of "Microsoft Edge" when I use the "Google" search engine and I enter a simple word before finding information on the word I have lots of ads that I don't have no need.
Recently I have been looking for information on road works not far from my home and as I use the word "exchanger", I find myself with heat pumps and others, I have to go down my elevator to find the information I need. 'need.
With the same search with Firefox no problem, just with Edge.
Do you know how to prevent all these ads?

    You can try switching to a different search engine, like Bing, DuckDuckGo, or StartPage. These engines tend to have fewer ads in their search results.
