If you use an ad blocker the shopping results are probably filtered out since they are clearly labeled as “sponsored”. If you don’t it’s really hard to miss the product carousel at the top of search results.

I bet your case is the former.

No I just instinctively scroll past them. I've come to learn the top 1/3rd of a google results page is usually bullshit, so I ignore it.

I have that habit, too, and since switching to Duck, there have been a number of times that I've missed the result I was looking for because Google trained me to ignore the first result.
