It's not enough. I used to always skip the ad of the canonical site I was looking for to avoid incurring them a cost when I knew what I was searching for.

But it's often no longer possible. The actual search reasult you want is the ad and the link is no longer duplicated in the organic search results.

So you have to click the ad.

you also have the option to not use Google and use DuckDuckGo or Bing instead

Do you have an example of this? I haven't seen it.
