My wife does this all the time. If she wants to go to Prime video she types "Amazon Prime Video" into her address bar then clicks the first Google result, often the ad for Prime Video.

To be fair, the actual page navigation to amazon prime video is not straightforward.

If I do not like a company but need to visit their site, I also do this just to increase the cost for said company as Google Ads are 'cost per click'.

^ This works really well except for if the company you don't like is Google :D

Oh, I tried an alternate approach and it didn't work... Search bing for Google and you just get a second bing. https://imgur.com/a/YntBiYc
