Bing has honestly been a lot better for me than google. I refused to use it for so long because it was just a joke when it first came out. But I started not being able to find any decent search results on google and the entire first page is now ads versus just the first few results. Bing also has an AI thing that will just give you a straight answer to a question and links to where it found it. I'd say to give it a try.

I switched to Bing a few months ago and really like it. It does suck how much Microsoft shoves their shit in your face tho.
These popups have disappeared from my devices for over 3 years but then again i'm using linux
I've never seen this appear. Is this in chrome? Anyway, like some people here have suggested, you can use a debloater script or something similar. I personally use O&O Shutup10. Hopefully enabling some options in there would work. Or you could just accept it and then change your search engine back to whatever you use lol.
Perhaps use redirect scripts or plugins or apps. Windows often about registry so do try that.
I don't know what people are doing in Windows to get all these ads. I've never seen a single one.
