Google results: anyone else still seeing ads?

Hey all, been using adblock for years, and have always specified to NOT show ad results when doing a Google search. It's worked well for a while, but just recently it's suddenly stopped. Multiple times, whatever I search, I'm getting spammed with up to 5 ad results before anything else, which often requires me to scroll the length of two entire screens worth of 'results' JUST to get to what I actually need.

Someone please tell me there's a solution for this, either in adblock's settings or even if it requires adding another ad-blocking addon, I just want to actually see an answer when I Google for it.

And to clarify: I've already gone into Adblock Plus's settings and confirmed I've unticked 'show acceptable ads', which seems to be the go-to answer on how to fix this, but it hasn't helped.

Any advice?
